Some travelers told Channel 2′s Michael Seiden they had been in the line for over 90 minutes and they’ve already missed their flights.
“I don’t know when I’m going to get home. My bags are on the flight but I’m not,” Lauren Angler said.
“Now it’s been delayed again and it’s supposed to leave at 7 p.m.,” Rochelle Farmer said.
She’s trying to make it back home to her family in Philadelphia after her airline canceled her first flight on Friday.
“I have to sit here for the next nine hours or so,” she said.
Cancellations aren’t the only thing causing headaches at the airport.
The long security lines are slowing things down.
“We’ve been in line, waiting for over two hours with everyone,” another traveler said. “I think my flight is taking off now.”
Some people in the lines said they were supposed to fly out yesterday but their flights were canceled.
Then when they got in the line for the security checkpoint today for their rescheduled flight, they missed that flight because of the long wait times.
