A Travel Nightmare
Just sharing a story... My flight was supposed to depart at 6:30 last night and it got delayed, and delayed, and delayed... Ended up departing closer to midnight. I had my 5 year old traveling with me. By time I got to my destination it was close to 2AM, my child was sleeping so I had to carry him off the plane. It was so late that all the rental car companies were already CLOSED. I did not have a child seat with me because I was planning to rent one with the rental car we reserved. Now this means I was NOT able to get to my hotel and the choice was spend the night at the airport OR get a ride to a hotel, and pay out of pocking for a night at a hotel. Keep in mind my kid is still asleep on top of me... I tried to ask around if there was a Taxi service, and nothing available at 2AM... they told me to call UBER and I got lucky the uber driver didn't complain about my kid being asleep and us not having a car seat. I had to pay $200 out of pocket to get a hotel room for the remainder of the night... Now I am going to try to FIGHT back with UNITED airlines about all the delays because it was related to an airline problem and all they gave us was $15 in snacks on the plane... ugh.

@Krista Brea I have had to deal with United on situations like this and they are accomodating. Make sure you have all the receipts. You can do this online. Best of luck!
