KINLEY
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MY FLIGHT IS CANCELED?” I WAS ON THE VERGE
of tears as I stared at the gate agent behind the ticket counter. The day was
already off to a bad start before I even left for the airport. Thanks to the
near-standstill traffic, I barely made it here on time. I’d taken the entire
week off to spend with my family. If only I had booked an earlier flight like
I had planned.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but there are snowstorms up along the East Coast
and all flights are grounded.” She stared down at her computer monitor and
clicked away at her keyboard. Her tone implied she was anything but sorry.
“The earliest I can get you out is on Saturday, at 10:05 a.m.”
“That’s three days away.” She couldn’t be serious. I frantically scanned
the kiosks showing the arrivals and departures. Sure enough, everything
was delayed or canceled. “You do realize Thanksgiving is tomorrow,
right?” I wanted to cry at the thought.
This would have been the first
Thanksgiving I spent with my family in four years. “Surely, there has to be
a way to get the other passengers and me there before then?”
“I’m afraid not.” She didn’t look like she was going to relent anytime
soon. “There is a staffing shortage as well due to the holiday.” She
shrugged. “It looks like we will both be stuck here for Thanksgiving.”
My eyebrows shot up to my hairline. “That’s not my problem. I paid
over seven hundred dollars for that ticket.”
The news had been reporting nonstop about the Nor’easter shutting
down the East Coast. They’ve had plenty of time to prepare for this. I even
checked my app before I left, and it only showed one flight delay. I knew
there was a chance my flight would get canceled, but I was hopeful they
could get me there by tomorrow. I glanced around to see if there was a place
to sit, so I could pull my laptop out and search for other options, but all the
seats were filled with pissed-off travelers, complaining everywhere I turned.
I thought about renting a car for a quick second, but looking at the blizzard
building up outside, it didn’t seem like a safe choice.
“Ma’am. We are doing the best we can here. We have no control over
the weather.”
“But you do have control over making sure you’re staffed properly,
correct?” My hands went to my hips in frustration. “Like for the busiest
travel holiday of the year?”
“Ma’am.” She looked over the frame of her glasses like she was
exhausted from trying to explain this to me.
I smacked my palms on the counter, causing her head to bolt up from
the keyboard. “Will you stop calling me ma’am!”
I was at the end of my rope and on the verge of losing it in the middle of
the crowded airport. My mother and grandmother were counting on me
being there, and I was looking forward to seeing them.
