Flight delays have become almost routine. Recently, one woman says she wasn’t able to get home after her vacation because American Airlines kept rescheduling her return journey.
Dallas podcaster and host of “Grl Talk,” Gabrielle (@gabrielleeeruth) posted about the ordeal to her TikTok account.
“I got to New York Saturday the third. It is now the eleventh, and I was supposed to be home on the sixth,” the waylaid traveler explains. In the video, she is waiting for her next flight at an airport in D.C.
She continues, “American Airlines has canceled my flights all week. I’ve spent $2,500 since Tuesday on hotels in New York. And I’m still not home yet.”
She says she kept having to rebook her flights because they were continuously delayed.
“This morning my flight got delayed. I missed my connection. And now I have to fly from New York to D.C. to Kansas City and then to Dallas,” she says of her new route home. Gabrielle also adds that the American Airlines ground staff had been unhelpful despite the multiple delays she was experiencing.
She signs off by saying, “I don’t think I will ever fly American Airlines ever again.”
The video received 77,000 views. Many commenters did understand why the American Airlines customer chose to spend her money on hotels rather than trying to get a flight with another airline, or pivot to another mode of transportation.
