About 120 air passengers were stranded in Duluth after their flight bound for the Twin Cities airport was diverted due to the weekend ice storm.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport closed its runways from midnight until 5 a.m. Sunday, sending the flight to Duluth. Passengers say they had to wait on board the plane for a couple of hours until a gate was available.
Kris Moorhead of Minnetonka says passengers tried to make the best of the situation. They were given a $100 air travel voucher for the inconvenience.
Passenger Fred Simmons tells KARE-TV that such is "life in Minnesota in the winter."
