More than 250 Christmas day flights were canceled or delayed across all Bay Area airports.
were canceled at San Jose International Airport, 90 were canceled at SFO, and 82 were canceled at Oakland International Airport.
"It went from 3pm to 3:10pm, finally 5 o clock, then boom, canceled," Laurie Matzkin, whose Redwood City family was unable to celebrate the eighth night of Hanukkah with loved ones in Southern California said. "They canceled our flight after we sat on it for five hours," Lindsay Peelman, also trying to fly to meet relatives in San Diego, said."This is not how I wanted to spend my Christmas," Rachel Williams, whose connection to Chicago was canceled. She spent all of Christmas Eve trying to get a flight out of her home airport in San Diego to get to San Jose.
Families waited more than an hour for their checked luggage to come off their canceled flights and then stood in line for three more hours to try to rebook, since airline apps and online booking weren't cooperating. Some travelers tried to get a rental car to get to their final destination but were told none were available.
