At PIT, drivers were lining the roads leading to the terminal waiting for their loved ones to arrive. Buses were dispatched from Cleveland and Dulles airports to bring passengers to Pittsburgh after their flights were canceled.
One man’s flight from Dulles airport to Pittsburgh was cancelled, so the airline put him on a bus to get him home in time for the holidays.
