Stranded Travelers Amid Caribbean Flight Cancellations (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: God, the announcements are going again. I'm so sorry. OK.

[00:00:06] Speaker 2: It's not fun. Like my job, like I have a job to come back, family to come. Like I have my sister I want to spend time with, friends to see. I want to do, I have a routine, you know, like I don't want to be stuck here.

[00:00:18] Speaker 3: Travelers were left stranded over the weekend after airlines canceled more than 425 flights in and out of the Caribbean following the U.S. strike on Venezuela.

[00:00:28] Speaker 1: So I was supposed to fly home on Saturday and then move to New York City Sunday to start my new job. Definitely some pressing matters.

[00:00:34] Speaker 2: It's affecting a lot because I am a nurse. I'm my little I dedicated my life literally show up for other people. Then I promise I'm going to show up. That's like when I'm scheduled.

[00:00:44] Speaker 3: Major airlines like JetBlue, United and Delta have now added flights to help stranded travelers get back home.

[00:00:51] Speaker 2: So many people at the airport. It's so busy. I have like TSA pre-check. Luckily, it was a little bit shorter line, but still it was a huge line.

[00:00:59] Speaker 1: I also handle things by humor. So I thought, why not vent through TikTok? So I've been making TikToks of everyone the entire trip. There are definitely worse places to be stuck. We're obviously missing work and missing family events, but I think we're just very glad to hopefully be getting home soon.
