Tisha LaSaine had saved for a vacation \u2064for herself, her mother, and her children, planning to depart on June 30. However, upon arriving at JFK Airport, they \u200dlearned that their flight to\u2064 Orlando was delayed due to a crew issue. Although their flight took off \u2063two hours late, they \u2062arrived in\u2063 Florida too \u200dlate to board the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/2020-was-the-brian-stelter-of-years\/\" title=\"2020 Was the Brian Stelter of Years\">cruise ship<\/a>, which had already left the dock by the time \u200cthey arrived. LaSaine expressed her heartbreak, particularly for \u2062her children, as their one-week vacation plans were ruined.\u2064 While they did receive a refund of $8,500 for the cruise, securing compensation from\u2062 Delta was more complex, ultimately\u200b resulting in a $2,600 refund.

Tisha LaSaine had been saving for a vacation with her mother, her twin children, and her eldest son, who was preparing to start his junior year at Hampton College, as reported by the New York Post. However, when their departure date of June 30 arrived, their plans quickly turned into a disaster. Upon arriving at John F. Kennedy Airport that day, they discovered that their Delta flight would be delayed due to crew issues, according to WABC-TV. &#8220;We took off at 11:40 a.m., while our flight was originally scheduled for 9:54,&#8221; said Kaseem Miller, LaSaine&#8217;s son.<\/p>\n<p>The flight was expected to land at 12:51 p.m., allowing them time to reach Cape Canaveral for their cruise&#8217;s scheduled departure at 3:30 p.m. Unfortunately, after landing and driving across the state, they were unable to make it in time. &#8220;I went up to my mom and told her I didn\u2019t think we\u2019d make it,&#8221; LaSaine recounted. The family arrived just in time to see the ship leave without them. &#8220;I think I cried more than the kids did; it was really for them,&#8221; LaSaine expressed emotionally. &#8220;We missed out on the entire trip\u2014eight days gone.&#8221; Although LaSaine eventually received a refund of $8,500 for the cruise she had booked, getting compensation from Delta took longer than expected.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt like losing that amount of money after months of saving would be devastating,&#8221; she said.
