Things are already getting a little hectic on one of the busiest travel days of the year at Salt Lake City Int'l Airport.
The airport was already busy Friday morning as passengers rushed to get out of town and to their destinations before flights could be canceled due to the massive storm affecting most of the country. By 7:45 a.m., 27 flights had already been canceled coming in or heading out of Salt Lake City, while 33 flights had been delayed.
Over the past few days, Riley and Sierra Porter have been trying to get to Eugene, Oregon to celebrate their son's first Christmas, but flight cancellations have halted their departure. The Porters are now flying into Sacramento with hopes they can still make it to Eugene before Christmas Eve.Because of potential weather cancellations and delays, as well as high travel volumes, airlines prepare for this time of year.
Airlines say passengers can help airlines get them to their destination faster by arriving early and packing thoughtfully.
