Flight delays and cancellations strand a number of families headed out for Spring Break.

Airlines canceled more than 3,5000 U.S. flights over the weekend and delayed thousands more.

Several airlines said that operations are trying to return to normal.

Severe weather is partly to blame as well as airspace congestion, technology issues and the high number of people wanting to travel by air.

FlightAware, a website that tracks flights, said most of the disruptions were at several Florida airports, including Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando, as well a Baltimore, New York and other airports around the country.

People on social media complained about waiting on hold or in lines for hours to get their canceled flights rescheduled and being stranded.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.
