The flight cancellations and delays from bad weather on the East Coast and airline staffing shortages impacted passengers at SFO Wednesday evening, as many travelers waited in long lines to rebook flights and make connections.
"I have been waiting for at least 2 hours now and my flight to Portland has been delayed twice," said Woldeselassie Omer, a United passenger who was trying to make a connection to Toronto for a reunion.
"The aircraft arrived, but then they told us they were missing staff people," said Cremin. Her family was told all flights were booked, so they will have to go on a flight next week, and will miss their relatives. "The problem is if you miss a flight or something is canceled it's even harder to get on something now," said Bill Zwolinski, a United passenger.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said airlines are scheduling more flights than they can handle.
