“I’m paying for a flight I didn’t take, and they're only giving half the money back on a credit,” he said.“I’m paying for a flight I didn’t take, and they're only giving half the money back on a credit,” he said.

Janice Wallace and Trinity Sunshine had their flight delayed.

The two women were heading to St. Martin for vacation.

They say because they were headed out on vacation, they were trying not to stress about it.

“We packed our patience today, we ‘re both veterans, so we’ll probably go hang out at the USO, get some coffee, chill with some comrades and just keep an eye on the news and the phones,” Sunshine said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted that the president had been briefed on the situation and that there is no evidence of a cyberattack.
