Ron Schaffer, an Apple Inc. engineer, was trying to connect with a flight to Grand Junction, Colo., after flying into Denver from Orlando, Fla. "A hundred yards of kiosks, and every one of them closed," he said, adding there were no flights listed on monitors. "Workers were trying to answer questions. They have no ability to do anything manually. They can't check baggage. You can't get baggage. You are really stuck." At the San Francisco International Airport, hundreds of passengers stood shoulder-to-shoulder. Still, some people took the delays in stride. Steve Cole, 51, of Bloxwich, England, was at the San Francisco airport waiting for a flight to Las Vegas. "These are the things you have to expect when you're on holiday." Cole said. "I'm missing a night of gambling," he added with a grin.
