At MIA, Some Weary Travelers Find 'Heaven' -- and Some Delays
The airport that locals so often criticize was one of the few places they could find the basics: working toilets, a cash machine, electrical outlets and food.
Most trans-Atlantic service at MIA was running normally, said Trenae Floyd, an MIA spokeswoman. Virgin Atlantic Airlines dispatched an extra Boeing 747 to Miami to help ferry stray passengers to London, and Alitalia, British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France all were planning Wednesday departures.
One Air France passenger to Stockholm, Sweden, wasn't having any problems. He was waiting to board his regularly scheduled flight and rode out the storm in Orlando.
''I was a little nervous about whether we were going to take off, but this is easy,'' Claes Warpe said.
