UPDATE: According to FlightAware, as of 11 p.m., Newark Liberty International Airport had around 900 combined cancelations and delays, LaGuardia Airport had about 800, and John F. Kennedy International Airport had close to 750. AliBaumanTV reports.
The misery map got worse and worse since CBS2 arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport in the afternoon.
On Monday night, more than 30% of the flights out of Newark were canceled, and nearly 40% were delayed.Peggy Paradice was ready for the 30-hour flight back home to Australia. She wasn't ready for it to become a four-day trek. "It must be really bad because a lot of airlines just have no seats until Thursday. So here we are. We're camped out in the Newark Airport," Paradice said."So this is us putting our toe back in the shark-infested waters of air travel," Paradice said."I feel gross. I feel like I want to cry, but I have nothing left," Budd said.
The Port Authority said Monday's weather compounded by Sunday's delays created a domino effect for fliers.Moss said she had no other choice but to sleep at the gate, like so many others.As for Paradice,"We're re-evaluating our lives to see what we're gonna do for the few days.""Being able to spend a little extra time with them has been very special," said Bill Svoboda of California.
The Port Authority recommends travelers check the status of their flight with their air carrier before heading to the airport Tuesday so they are not stuck staring at the board for hours on end like so many people CBS2 saw on Monday.
