O’Hare, Midway recovering from weekend cancellations
Monday, many of those going to O’Hare and Midway hope for no delays or cancelations.
Many travelers going to O’Hare and Midway are hoping for no delays or cancellations after weekend winter storm caused many travel troubles.
Over the weekend, there were over 1,300 flights cancelled between O’Hare and Midway.
As of 10:12 a.m. Monday, there have been 146 cancellations at O’Hare and one at Midway.
The Federal Aviation Administration said at one point on Sunday that departures to O’Hare were delayed on average by nearly an hour due to snow or ice, and that departures from the airport were delayed an average of 15 minutes.
Many travelers said it has been a mess, with some actually getting on a flight, waiting in the tarmac for hours, only to deboard the plane and do it all over again.
“We had to stop in Denver and that is when we heard our cancellation had just gotten later and later and later and later,” traveler Fran Reynolds said. “I think we were probably an hour-and-a-half on the runway here.”
