Travelers delayed from flying out of the state because of the island-wide power outage last night return to the airport this morning to try again.

Two United Airlines flights to Los Angeles, two to San Francisco, and one to Denver were canceled last night, leaving hundreds of travelers searching for places to stay and looking for ways off island.

By 7 this morning long lines snaked out of the United Airlines area of the terminal as travelers waited to board the re-scheduled flights.

A United Airlines employee said all canceled flights were re-scheduled and that they are working with travelers to compensate for lost time.
