Understandably so, most people are disappointed when the obligations they may have, if they are at their destination, must now be changed. However, they often forget about the reality of the situation.

If the flight is a mechanical delay means that the plane is better than on the ground in the air. It also means that they are as long as they need to repair it or to another level. What is the old saying better late than never? If the plane is delayed, if for any other goal, to yell and scream do not come any faster. Remember, you are not the only inconvenience to why ruin all the time during the delay by a tyrant.
