<p>A power outage at Stansted International Airport in London held up holiday travel Monday afternoon, adding some extra misery to an already busy travel week.</p>
|
|
<p>The power outage lasted about two hours. Photos uploaded by holiday travelers show massive queues, although the outage affected only parts of the airport.</p>

<p>The power outage is affecting the transit system that gets travelers to their airplanes, according to the airport.</p>

<p>Stansted is located about 40 miles north of London's center; the terminal most affected is Ryanair.</p>
