dimensions Family waits for days after Italy trip was canceled by airline

Robin Regazzini arrived at Boston’s Logan Airport with her family on Tuesday for an overseas trip, but that flight never took place. “We have a family of eight who have been planning a trip to Italy for the past three years,” Regazzini said. “After several delays, it was finally canceled at 9:30 a.m.,” Regazzini said. “We were at the airport by 1:30am trying to reschedule.” Instead of heading home to Reading, they opted for a hotel close to the airport and tried relentlessly to catch a flight. “We’ve rescheduled our flight at least four times,” Regazzini said. “Every time we come back to the airport, they say, ‘No, we don’t have your booking.’ Weather delays and staff shortages have plagued airlines for weeks, which comes as the Transportation Security Administration says it’s screening more people arriving this July 4 bank holiday weekend than they did in 2019 before the pandemic.Regazzini and her family called to to cancel their year-long trip because they feared they would never make it to their final destination, unsure if the family trip to Italy will ever become a reality.”Hopefully we can reschedule the date to next year but we’re not at that point yet so far,” said Regazzini.
