CHARLOTTE — Over 1,100 flights have been canceled in Charlotte due to dangerous winter weather Sunday afternoon, according to FlightAware.
There were more than 120 delays.
Travelers said Sunday morning they are making their way through security and wishing for the best.
Channel 9’s Phil Orban spoke to one man trying to make his way to Dallas, Texas. He’s been in Charlotte for two nights unable to take off. If his flight is delayed again, he says he isn’t giving up.
“I’ll just try to get another Lyft back to another hotel, and just try it again,” Demarcus Atkins said.
Airport officials recommend checking flights early and often in the event of any last-minute delays or cancellations.
