FYI, the FAA is doing, "flow control," into AUS this weekend, due to increased private jet traffic for F1:

They said it’s called a ground delay program, and the idea is by temporarily holding flights from taking off, the air and runway space here in Austin doesn’t get jammed up and cause even longer delays for other flights.
The article mentions flights from DFW, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that would have...AA has maybe 8 per day. Before COVID at peak, I think there were about 12 to 15 flights between DFW and AUS per day.
