The FAA ground stop stranded me at the airport with 3 kids until 4 a.m. We're delayed 3 days and facing thousands in costs.

ملخص مفصل

The FAA ground stop left my family stranded in Orlando with three young kids. We're facing thousands in extra expenses and lost wages.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Morgane Richardson. It has been edited for length and clarity My family was already in the air flying from Puerto Rico to Orlando, en route back to our home in Albany, New York, when we found out about the ground stop. I had a work conference there, so I decided to bring my wife and three kids, twin 3-year-olds and an 8-year-old, with me. Luckily, we were able to land, but the pilot told us all connections had been canceled. Now it's going to take us three additional days to get home, and it's going to cost us thousands of dollars. When we landed in Orlando at 7 p.m., everything was chaotic, with long lines of people trying to get help.
