I don't know if it is the same party or not, but it sounds much like one my husband just told me last night. The future daughter-in-law of the owner of my hubby's company was back in her hometown of New Orleans for a bachelorette party. They were in the same situation: They had been bumped off of at least 2 flights. Her future father-in-law suggested they should reserve at least 2 cars to rent so that hopefully by the time they got there, they were both gone. They did get out though. It cost them some money. The plane before them had a mechanical problem and sat on the runway for a while, delaying them. I don't think that plane got out. They were on the last flight out before they closed the airport.
Hey good morning! Wow, what a coincidence. :) Thanks for the info, hopefully we are talking about the same party.
