American Airlines (AA) passengers flying from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) endured a punishing journey after a 7.5-hour departure delay was followed by a diversion to the wrong city.

As of 21:00 ET, storms across the United States had resulted in over 4,500 delays and nearly 500 cancellations, with Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport being one of the worst hit.
