There were more than 100 delayed flights at Logan on Wednesday and dozens of cancelations. “I’ve never experienced a canceled flight or this many delays,” said Tyler Lynch, who is also from Charlotte.Sparmer and Lynch said they’ve been trying other airlines and looking for alternatives. “We’re trying to stay positive. We ended up having to crash on a friend’s couch that got married two days ago and ruined their little honeymoon phase,” Sparmer added.”My flight yesterday was delayed six hours,” said Fiona Murphy, another traveler who hoped to fly out of Boston on Wednesday. “I got delayed, I think, three or four times. So, it’s been a bit chaotic.” Larry Hysell is also stuck in Boston after traveling internationally. He is trying to get home to Orlando, Florida. “We just got a text saying our 8 p.m. flight has been changed to 9:49 p.m.,” he said.Hysell said his airline also offered him the chance to rebook on another flight.
