PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – There’s something magical about the world-famous red rocks in Sedona. Alicia Ferguson hoped to take snapshots of the picturesque landscape with her from her trip. “You know, it’s funny because I went to Sedona to relax,” she said. “And then coming back, trying to come back, was really stressful.” Ferguson lives in St. Louis and the dangerous snowstorms in the Midwest made her fly home. On Monday she had canceled four flights. While your travel partner was lucky enough to be able to fly out in the morning, he is still in a bind. (Source: 3TV / CBS 5) “You were diverted to Kansas City. You didn’t really make it to St. Louis,” she said. “So he’s stuck in Kansas City now, trying to figure out how to get back to St. Louis, too. They’re getting a lot of snow.” American Airlines has announced to the Arizona family that they have made 13 flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport due to inclement weather. Southwest Airlines is also canceling a few dozen flights because of the storms on Monday evening. In a statement, a Delta Air Lines spokesman said it had canceled hundreds of flights across the country.

But often the equipment for these flights arrived the night before. ”“ There have been no rebooking fees for your flight since the outbreak of COVID, ”she said. “So you can possibly avoid going to Chicago or Dallas and connecting in Miami instead. Back at the airport, Alicia is a nurse in anesthesiology who was able to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “I’ll be happy to go back to Arizona.” It was a lot better than I thought, “she said.” I think Arizona is really underrated. Everyone goes to Florida or California, and they’re beautiful too, but it was beautiful. “Copyright 2021 KPHO / KTVK (KPHO Broadcasting Corporation). All rights reserved.
