Flights grounded at Logan
BOSTON. Three days of snow coincided with one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, turning Logan International Airport into a mess yesterday with thousands of stranded travelers.
According to Massport, hundreds of flights were canceled and many more delayed for hours as Logan crawled with people staring at screens, waiting in lines and just hoping for a break.
“This is unbelievable,” said one woman while rushing her family to a flight to Puerto Rico for the holidays.
As the day dragged on, forecasters eyed even greater snowfall amounts than originally predicted, causing the situation to worsen and flights to be canceled many hours out.
In the morning, a snaking security line at Terminal B grew by the minute. One woman asked a family where the end was, only to be pointed to a spot a football field away.
“Oh my goodness,” the woman muttered before making her way to back of the line.
Many flights that did get out were delayed as many as four hours.
