Flights cancelled in Chicago storms
Storms in and around Chicago have led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights leaving many passengers stranded.
Many were forced to sleep overnight at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, the hub for United Airlines.
United, Continental and other airlines are waiving change fees for travellers going through Chicago.
United is also waiving change fees for an earlier computer glitch last week that stranded thousands more passengers.
