They gave us a cancellation notice,\u201d Truong said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Departure boards inside the airport showed multiple canceled flights, including trips to New York and Boston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While some travelers were dealing with cancellations, others faced extended delays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Traveler Scott Troehler, who was trying to return home to Cincinnati, said the problems started almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAs soon as we got here, it started being delayed,\u201d Troehler said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Troehler said weather conditions were clearly affecting travel plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWell, I know there\u2019s a nice storm going on, but other than that, we\u2019re heading to Cincinnati. It just seems like everything\u2019s delayed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite the inconvenience, Troehler said he was staying patient during the busy holiday travel period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cPut a kink in the arm here, but it\u2019s the holiday, so we\u2019re gonna get through it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">[DOWNLOAD: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For Truong\u2019s family, the issues went beyond delays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Truong said JetBlue told them there were no other flights available out of Jacksonville until Monday, forcing them to consider traveling to another city to get home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe have to go to Atlanta to catch the next flight because there\u2019s no flight until Monday in Jacksonville,\u201d Truong said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But even leaving Jacksonville has proven difficult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe can even get a car rental back to Atlanta to catch a flight because it\u2019s totally booked out,\u201d Truong said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rental cars at the airport were fully booked, and the family said taking an Uber from Jacksonville to Atlanta would be too expensive. More than four hours later, they were still waiting at the airport, unsure of how they would make it home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Airport officials warned that additional delays and cancellations are possible overnight and urged passengers to check directly with their airline for the latest flight updates and rebooking options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">[SIGN UP: <a href=\"https:\/\/membercenter.actionnewsjax.com\/newsletters\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>] <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Click here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Click here<\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:click here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">click here<\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:click here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">click here<\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flights canceled, delayed at Jacksonville airport as ice storm impacts travel to New York Flights out of Jacksonville&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[8130,51371,761,116,118,117,14594],"class_list":["post-97022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-airport-officials","tag-canceled-flights","tag-free-action-news-jax","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-new-york"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
