LINTHICUM, Md. — Wintry weather has wreaked havoc on holiday travel nationwide, and this morning, BWI Airport was reported to be extremely busy as more than 200 flights were ultimately delayed or cancelled.
BWI Airport is apparently in the top four airports for having the most cancellations/delays today. (Only airports in Chicago, Denver and Las Vegas are having more cancellations and delays, reports FlightAware.com.)
@SouthwestAir I love you, but not right now. My wife and I did not receive a txt that our BWI-ORD flight this AM was canceled (along with most other BWI flights). Instead we found out when trying to check our pooch in at BWI. Please help make this right - A+ Companion Cust.

Long lines were seen this morning at the airport, and people were posting their complaints to social media, primarily to Southwest Airlines.
I was at BWI on Saturday for 5 hours. It's not just Southwest having issues. All the airlines were having cancellation problems.
