Ida Stein waited to fly home to Kotzebue from Anchorage after she and her family cut short their vacation to Las Vegas.

Things continued to improve Saturday. However, one problem remains: bags continue to pile up at the Alaska Airlines baggage claim area. Employees declined to go on camera but said it’s only getting worse.“My daughter is on her way as we speak,” said Stein. “She had to take a later flight.”
