Airline passengers across the country continued facing challenges Monday. Hundreds more flights were canceled in our area, stranding passengers at the airport. tvjessi reports.
The biggest headache happened for those flying Southwest, which canceled 64 percent of its flights for the day.
Southwest's unique challenge comes from having a hub in hard-hit Dallas as well as sending crews into storms where they got stranded. "New York's not cheap and it just gets more expensive by the night because it gets closer to New Years. So we spent an extra about $2,000 in the last three days," said Haist. "If not, we got a car reserved in Jersey City, New Jersey that we got to find a way to there. Uber or however it's going to work, we don't even know yet. We're going to find a way there and end up driving home, which is about an 8-hour drive," said Haist.
