JFK - DTW
Hey Everyone,
I’m writing this on behalf of my partner who’s currently stuck in NYC at JFK.
He’s a first time delta flyer - he normally books with spirit but had to reschedule with delta due to the spirit shutdown. He had a flight booked out for yesterday night JFK - DTW but with the weather the flight was cancelled. At customer service he asked for a boarding pass for a 1pm flight today, they gave it to him without a designated seat. This morning when he arrived he went back to customer service and now they are saying he’s only on standby (started at 9 in standby and now he’s at 40 because he’s getting bumped due to his first time flyer status)
He’s looked at every other airport in the area, all trains are booked, and renting a car is not an option due to age. He’s also a health care worker in an ICU (he tried to use that out of necessity having to work tomorrow to no avail).
Any suggestions on what to do in this situation would be greatly appreciated, just want to make sure he gets home safe!
