Christmas travel: Reunited for the holidays at the Ottawa Airport [Video]

As many race to get home for the holidays, a winter storm in eastern Ontario caused some delays for last-minute travellers as their loved ones stood by waiting to be reunited.

“It started off when we looked it was all going to be fine and then by the time we arrived at the airport, I think it’s almost two hours late now,” said Martin Hayles, who was waiting for his sister-in-law to arrive.

Aiden McPhail also arrived early, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive from Newark, as the clock to Christmas counts down.
