My son and daughter-in-law got notified their SWA flight from KC to Dallas was cancelled as they were checking in last night (24 hours in advance of the flight today). No flights available until 12/31, and they need to drive from Dallas to Delaware starting 1/1 to start new jobs.

The best they could do on alternate flights were singles on American for $1,600+, non-direct.

They’ve rented a car and will be driving back starting mid-morning.
