Passengers left stranded after US storm Nemo
Thousands of passengers were left stranded in the US at the weekend after a winter storm led to flight cancellations.
Nearly 7,000 flights have been cancelled according to Flightstats – 4,136 on Friday, 2,092 on Saturday and 535 on Sunday.
Today only 88 cancellations are planned although some US airports, including Chicago, are still experiencing delays.
Airlines, including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, had been forced to cancel services to New York and Boston as Winter Storm Nemo took its toll on northeast US.
British Airways cancelled all flights to and from London and New York and Boston on Friday.
Virgin cancelled all Boston flights but was planning to operate some of its New York services.
The National Weather Service said the storm could be "potentially historic", bringing the heaviest snowfall for some cities in a century.
Around 25 million people were affected in some way. People have been warned to stay at home and stock up on food and other supplies.
New York and other parts of the northeast are still recovering from the impact of Sandy, a major winter storm in October which caused major damage and left thousands without power for several days.
