delayed and cancelled flights<\/a> were due to extreme weather across the East Coast. As of 5 p.m., Monday, FLL had already cancelled over 150 flights.<\/p>\n\u201cScheduled to fly back today to Worcester, Massachusetts, and all because of the weather, they cancelled the flight,\u201d said passenger Dave Whyman.<\/p>\n
The airport chaos is also being affected by a partial government shutdown that has caused staff shortages at the Transportation Security Administration, increasing lines at airports, including at FLL.<\/p>\n
Nationwide, the Midwest was struck by blizzard conditions, increasing travel issues across the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, I had like three cancelled flights, and so now I just rebooked on United [Airlines],\u201d said Stephanie Schlepp, a traveler at Chicago O\u2019Hare International Airport.<\/p>\n
Up to 30 inches of snow is expected in Wisconsin, with powerful winds creating dangerous whiteouts in some areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually ended up lost because we couldn\u2019t see the road signs,\u201d said Christopher Hebert, a Green Bay resident.<\/p>\n
This left millions of Americans in the path of severe weather as passengers attempted to get back home.<\/p>\n
\u201cOurs got cancelled, and we\u2019re trying to make it back before our jobs cancel us,\u201d said passenger Justin Vlez.<\/p>\n
Across the United States, more than 3,600 flights were cancelled, and 7,000 flights were delayed as of Monday.<\/p>\n
