MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - People at Miami International Airport encountered travel troubles as crews attempt to figure out how to fix an outage at a terminal that has led to flight delays and upset passengers.

The system that delivers checked bags for airlines at MIA’s South Terminal stopped working, late Saturday afternoon.

Some flights were delayed as long lines started to form and luggage started to pile up.

One international passenger said the airport should have been better prepared.

“It does feel frustrating sometimes. I know everybody is trying their best, but I hope the airport does something, prepare for situations like this, and there’s always a Plan B,” said international traveler Gandhar Patak. “You know these are international flights. It shouldn’t happen this way, so there’s always a frustration here.”

Saturday night, an airport official said the Transportation Security Administration continues to look into what’s causing the outage and how they plan to repair it.

MIA officials advise travelers departing from Concourses H or J to give themselves extra time and arrive earlier than usual if they are checking any bags.
