LAX Travel Disruptions Delay Couple’s Return to Houston

Price of the rental car was gonna be 50 dollars, and it went up to 200 dollars.

No, it was 300 dollars for the rental car. It, it, everything's double.

But we had... We took what was available.

Quit sending money abroad and take care of here at home.

That's what I say. You can hear that patience has completely worn out for Allen there.

He and his wife, they desperately want to get home.

They were on a 54th wedding anniversary cruise.

They're missing their high school reunion.

They just want to get home back to Houston, Texas.

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.

It's a lot of headache, a lot of heartache here.

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.

Yeah. They just want to make sure they can get where they need to go.

They want things to work. Uh, Leigh Waldman there at LAX.
