THOUSANDS of passengers were left stranded at the city’s airports at the weekend as rains continued to lash the city.

More than 100 flights were canceled and about 150 were delayed at Pudong and Hongqiao, with the former worse affected, officials said. The majority of flights through Pudong were delayed for 10 hours or more and countless passengers spent Saturday night in the terminal buildings.

Some said they tried to make alternative travel arrangements but were told they couldn’t get access to their luggage.
