Southwest Airlines flights delayed, some canceled after technology issues

CHICAGO (CBS) – Dozens of flights have been delayed at airports including Midway after Southwest Airlines experienced technology issues Saturday morning.

In a statement from the airline, they said they’ve experienced the issues following overnight maintenance.
