Christmas Day has now come and gone, but plenty of people are still trying to make it to their holiday destination. Unfortunately, like the song says, 'I’ll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams' became reality for a lot of travelers who have tried, some for days, to catch a flight to be with loved ones. At Bush Intercontinental Airport, Monday alone, there were more than 266 delays and greater than 68 flight cancelations, so far.
"I was without clothes for two days in Vegas and had to sleep in the airport," says Shevette Liston who had four flights canceled before making it to Houston the day after Christmas. "So I didn’t get to spend Christmas with my family or with my granddaughter". "Our flight to Denver got canceled, so we’re actually going to drive to Denver and go skiing. 16 and half hours," says Houstonian Sean Patterson. Apparently old man winter is partly the problem, but passengers say they’re also being told there aren’t enough workers at several airports across the country. "They said low staff is why the flight was canceled," says Regina Morales. Plenty of persistent passengers changed airlines and airports to catch a flight.
