The FAA ordered ground stops along the northeast corridor, causing delays at every single airport from Washington DC all the way up to Boston, due to weather.
— Lilly GibbonsHundreds of flight delays and cancelations due to weather brought air travel to a halt for passengers flying in and out of the area’s airports, leaving passengers stranded inside JFK, LaGuardia and Newark for hours and in some cases – days.
Gibbons was supposed to spend the weekend enjoying a 21st birthday in Nashville. But the delays were so bad, she barely had 24 hours in Tennessee to celebrate before having to turn back around. "We were here at the airport at 12 p.m. We didn’t get on the flight till 10:30 p.m. Then our plane ran out of fuel. Then we had to wait two more hours to get on the plane. Then we had to wait for the plane. It was 15 hours. The whole day was 15 hours," Gibbons said. Because of bad weather that started Friday, the FAA ordered ground stops along the northeast corridor, causing delays at every single airport from Washington DC all the way up to Boston. Data from Flightaware showed the most cancelations in the entire country happened at Newark, Boston, LaGuardia and JFK.
