BOSTON (WHDH) - Hurricane Dorian is nearing the eastern coast of Florida and, for the time being, Florida airports remain open to travelers looking to head out for the holiday weekend.
Many people at the airport Friday were trying to get out ahead of the storm.
Around 4 p.m. a flight from Orlando, Fla. arrived at Boston Logan Airport. Among those on board was a couple who spent their honeymoon at the theme parks in Orlando.
“It was really nice, glad to get away, but I’m glad to be back home,” the woman returning from her honeymoon said.
The couple was scheduled to come back today, but some left earlier due to Dorian.
“We really didn’t wanna stick around to see what happened,” said Kevin Varney, who was returning from his honeymoon.
Tayna Zucker, who was returning from Florida, said that the lines at Orlando Airport weren’t that big but you could definitely feel there’s a storm coming in due to an eerie feeling in the air.
“As much as I love storms, I’m happy to be home,” Zucker said.
Orlando International Airport announced they will stop flights after 2 a.m. Monday morning.
Carnival Cruises has made changes to several cruises, including canceling their Carnival Liberty cruise.
