Unfortunately, a delayed or canceled flight is a reality today. Navigating the change in itinerary does involve the use of math too. When this happens, we have to figure out how much more time it will take for us to get to our destination, and sometimes this also involves more money. There are additional meals to buy, sometimes a night in a hotel, and even extra transportation costs. It is a frustrating experience, but something we always prepare for to some extent.
