At LaGuardia Airport, Ken Thomas, 73, and his wife Beverly Thomas, 74, of Dallas, Texas were visiting their daughter and grandchildren in Massapequa and were supposed to fly back home at 6:45 p.m. on Southwest airlines. But the flight was moved several times until eventually being cancelled.
They’re now rebooked on a Sunday flight, which means they will miss a wedding celebration that day. They’re stuck at the LaGuardia waiting for their family to make the trip back from Massapequa to pick them up after being dropped off.
