Travelers are already experiencing delays and cancellations on Friday ahead of what is expected to be a very chaotic travel weekend with severe weather heading to South Florida. “We came from San Juan to Miami and then we were planning on making out connecting flight to D.C., but then found out it was canceled,” said one group who just finished their vacation.
There were 23 cancellations and 15 delays at MIA as of noon Friday. At FLL there were 37 cancellations and 55 delays. “We came from San Juan to Miami and then we were planning on making out connecting flight to D.C., but then found out it was canceled,” one group trying to travel back to Washington D.C. said.
