Friday’s snowstorm caused a snag for travelers during the busy holiday travel season.
At Logan International Airport, there were dozens of delays and some cancellations on Friday night. Travelers who spoke with NBC10 Boston were taking it in stride.
“I’m very superstitious about flights. I kind of always go into something thinking there’s gonna be a delay,” said Asa Buchakjain-Tweedy, whose flight was canceled.
Thirty seconds after our bus pulled out of Portsmouth, we got the automatic message from Delta that our flight had been canceled,” said Marcey Buchakjain. Her family sat on a bus for hours to get to Logan, knowing they wouldn’t be getting on their flight to Philadelphia to see family.
“We just got booked on a Sunday flight to see them,” Buchakjain said. Now, they have a snowy three-hour bus ride back home.
“At least we’re not spending the night at the airport, which I know sometimes people have to do,” she said.
AAA Northeast warned travelers of potential problems Friday.
“There could be delays and cancellations throughout the entire air travel system and that could lead to delays and cancellations here locally as well, so it’s always a good idea to look at the national weather map before you get on your flight before you head to the airport,” spokesperson Mark Schieldrop warned.
The storm could also cause issues on the roads. MassDOT said they were ready, but travel conditions may be slippery.
“MassDOT crews will be chemically treating and plowing roadways as needed, but snowfall may result in slippery conditions impacting roadway conditions.”
The snow may continue to cause issues for flights Saturday.
