"We flew in from Indianapolis today," Donna Smith of Barrington, Rhode Island said Sunday night. "Landed at 7:50 p.m. We were on the runway for just under three hours. And now we're here in the airport waiting for our luggage. We have no idea where it is or how long it'll be until we get it."
Passengers were told that staffing issues and deicing caused some of the delays.
There were a still handful of delays and cancellations impacting flights in and out of Logan as of Monday morning.
Delta released a statement Monday morning apologizing for the delays.
