Stranded Passengers Face Wait as Storm Recovery Starts

Passengers stranded when airlines canceled more than 7,000 flights amid a winter storm in the eastern U.S. may wait days for another flight as carriers move aircraft and search for seats on crowded planes.

Migel Arras was stuck in Dallas since yesterday, when his American Airlines flight to New York was canceled. He wasn’t booked on another flight until Jan. 1, and was No. 88 on a standby list today for an earlier flight.
