At the gate we received no help in resolving the matter so we had little choice other than try to seek elsewhere. Later, and long after our flight had left ,my wife's passport was proved to be in fully compliance with all the countries laws and regulation in which we were to visit including those of the U.S.A. At this point we had to abort a trip that had cost us thousands and had been booked for months. But nobody at Delta cares and I'm sure by now the young lady who caused our problem is aware of her error, but that does not help us. There worldwide web of Customer Service agents even tells you to telephone other agents for help.. Duh!

Not quite a delay as we had to fly home early but it was total chaos at the airport and people that wanted to go to Gatwick ended up on Manchester planes and vice versa! waiting around for ages and due to hurricane there was very limited services.

They rescheduled our flight leaving at 11:40 p.m. that night. We were travelling with my father who is 82 years old and I said this is not acceptable. They then booked us on a flight leaving at 10 a.m. but stopping in another city. We would arrive only a few hours later than our original plan. We arrived at the airport only to be told that our flight was rescheduled for the next day (a day after our original departure date!)
