Well it was an interesting experience that ended kinda well. Sunday Delta flight to JFK delayed until 5p even though the aircraft arrived around 130p...but....went to the far east end of the airport and was greeted by an ambulance. Turns out a flight attendant got ill and the flight had to be cancelled.,

Absolutely zero communication from the ONE gate agent who was surrounded by maybe 140 passengers wanting to know what was up. No announcement other than "Flight 1886 to JFK has been cancelled"...Delta phone app crashed so that was useless...

Turns out wheels were in motion to rebook everyone on a flight today (5pm) on the aircraft that sat overnight. Wheels were in motion at Sonesta Maho Beach ALL INCLUSIVE....confusion getting bags after an hour wait....and finding THE shuttle to the hotel but all paperwork was ready on arrival....

Worked out well (assuming we get out today since we have no paperwork and the covid test is old but within the 24 hour wiggle room of a cancelled flight...Communcation at the airport would have defused the situation immensely and the poor agent wouldn't have been under siege.

Also...free drinks and decent food helped a lot....
