CHICAGO (Reuters) - Super Bowl fans may have to scramble for alternate flights after American Airlines and its regional carrier canceled 630 flights to and from its Dallas hub on Friday because of another winter storm. Snow continued to fall in Texas two days after a massive winter storm grounded flights throughout the nation. More than 100,000 football fans were expected to converge on Dallas for the face-off between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
"We've had snow overnight and this morning," said Tim Smith, spokesman for American Airlines.
Smith said the main runways at the airport are open, but ramps and taxiways "are a bit messy."
"We are putting extra effort to operate our flights in from Chicago today to keep the Super Bowl-oriented traffic moving," he said, adding that the airline was trying to de-ice aircraft there.
