Airlines Struggle to Mop Up Blizzard’s Delays

The World

We’ve been reporting on the devastating East Coast snowstorms all week, hearing your stories and seeing your photos. Today we take a look at how the blizzard has affected post-holiday travel. Yesterday, hundreds of passengers bound for Vancouver sat on the tarmac at JFK Airport in New York for over 11 hours ? and that’s not the only horror story circulating between airline terminals.

Joining us to discuss why the airlines have had such a difficult time dealing with the blizzard is Barbara Peterson, Senior Aviation Correspondent at Conde Nast Traveler.

Also with us is Nageeb Sumar, a traveler who is still trying to get to Phoenix. He was supposed to arrive there on Sunday.
