[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=4) No, it was 300 dollars for the rental car. It, it, everything's double.

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=6) But we had... We took what was available.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=9) Quit sending money abroad and take care of here at home.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=13) That's what I say. You can hear that patience has completely worn out for Allen there.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=21) He and his wife, they desperately want to get home.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=23) They were on a 54th wedding anniversary cruise.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=26) They're missing their high school reunion.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=28) They just want to get home back to Houston, Texas.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=31) We've seen bags stacked waiting for their owners to be found to arrive here, waiting to get their bags to them wherever they're trying to go.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=40) It's a lot of headache, a lot of heartache here.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=42) And I think the underlying, uh, message here, Jessica, is not just the inconvenience of these flights, it's those key moments that so many people are missing because of what happened.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=55) Yeah. They just want to make sure they can get where they need to go.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5CCexA4W1YQm/en/lax-travel-disruptions-delay-couple-s-return-to-houston?t=58) They want things to work. Uh, Leigh Waldman there at LAX.
