I myself just experienced one of these. So, we got at the airport (9:30). we check in, do all that, security, blah blah blah. next thing you know we see the door to the plane is closed and 5 workers are trying to tend to 2 other families in our situation. we go up and say, "what's going on?" The workers say that my family is late and we missed the flight. However, the plane was still sitting out there being refueled. the situation, after it was explained, ended up making us pay 102 dollars extra. a little pissed, but it isn't the worst situation. i'm also stuck here eating trash food at an airport for 5 hours. I am leaving for jacksonville in 5 hours! goodbye!
