Americans among those stranded at Iceland's Keflavik Airport since the weekend, and unable to travel to their hotels due to severe weather. 'We were stranded with no real food, just overpriced snacks and a floor to sleep on,' one passenger said.
Many passengers who landed at the airport have not been able to travel to their hotels in nearby Reykjavik, while others who are waiting for connecting flights orto New York, Boston, Washington, Paris, London and other global cities are faced with cancellations.
"We found a couple of luggage carts and used them as a chair," Becky said."I have never appreciated all the things I normally take for granted so much in my life. We were stranded with no real food, just overpriced snacks and a floor to sleep on." "Where I feel they failed in their duty was to provide guidance and announcements to those stranded," said Jolene Christensen of Richmond, Virginia."Then, when we boarded the bus, they could have put people in a queue, but no attempt was made, which made it dangerous for everyone."
"I understand that weather factors can affect things but I think the lack of preparation and foresight ... You should have never let people come here knowing the forecast," he said."Today, it’s like everything’s canceled and no one's really doing anything to make this right."
