In a rare move, American Airlines American Airlines diverted a domestic flight to a foreign country and passengers are calling themselves illegal immigrants to the Bahamas.
American Airlines flight 2421 from San Juan to Miami wound up in Nassau on Saturday. Passengers couldn’t leave the terminal. Most weren’t carrying passports. “It’s like The Terminal with Tom Hanks” said one viewer of video on social media.
The roughly two hour journey ran into weather. Diversions of domestic flights are usually domestic, but between these two U.S. points are foreign country countries. Reportedly the pilot asked, ‘who here has their passports and who doesn’t?’ Crew timed out.
‘We land the plane, we’re sitting on the tarmac for two hours, we got off the plane, turns out the pilot can’t do overtime or something so we had to get off the plane,’ … ‘We got off here, we can’t leave the terminal cos we’re not allowed to be here, we are illegally here and not only can’t we leave the airport, we can’t leave the terminal, we can’t do anything.’
The passengers found themselves herded into a terminal chilled by air conditioning where they were left without food, water, or blankets overnight.
…’Matter of fact we’ve been looking at the computer, after a while they turned the computer off because they didn’t want us looking at it. ‘Now people are having medical emergencies, there’s medication on the plane, It’s on the plane!
The customer complained, ‘We’re on hour seven of being here; no food, no water, it’s cold, there’s no blankets, we have one bathroom for 100 people, dogs, children, no information.’
Eventually the plane was ferried out of Nassau that night, but it was twelve hours after that before passengers were flown on to Miami. And the Nassau airport is a pretty miserable place to be stuck overnight.

According to an American Airlines spokesperson,
On August 3, American Airlines flight 2421 with service from Puerto Rico (SJU) to Miami (MIA) was impacted by severe weather and diverted to Nassau (NAS). The flight continued on to MIA once the weather conditions allowed us to safely do so. Operating safely is always our priority — especially in dynamic weather events — and we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience experienced as a result of the weather.
Last year JetBlue diverted a Newark – Fort Lauderdale flight to Nassau as well. And that was the first time in my own memory that I could think of this happening. It’s certainly undesirable for airlines and customers. I’d have rather seen American turn around and go back to San Juan if they were still able to do so.
But if you had your passport with you, you were good to go?
AA + Mierda = Amierdican
Passports, and any other physical ID, are antiquated in the age of facial recognition. Why do I need to prove my identity — you should be able to figure that out by looking at me.
If you are a DYKWIA, things can happen. I was once on a diverted Delta flight and the captain motioned me to leave the aircraft with him to do some airport shopping while the flight was being refueled.
They are not in the Bahamas “illegally.” They are there lawfully pursuant to International Treaty (Convention on International Civil Aviation) which obligates Bahamas to accept the plane making emergency maneuvers and properly care for the passengers. There is nothing illegal about their presence there.
If the US Government scrapped the US Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative which US DHS wanted the US Congress to pass, this would have been less of an issue.
I often carry a passport and Canadian money when flying a northerly US domestic route, like MSP-BOS. I also have Japanese money if the flight overflows Japan.
A similar thing happened to me except I was stuck in Costa Rica for eight hours. I had a passport but we were still told to stay in the hallway as CR immigration would not let us through. That was on Taca. It was a rather comically maddening experience. Our original flight from Honduras to Miami was canceled. We flew from SPS to SJO, sat for eight hours, then headed to Managua. the pilot came on and asked if anybody was getting off in Managua; no one spoke up. He said since we had a full load he was skipping Managua and took us straight to SPS – exactly where we started the adventure 12 hours earlier. From there we went to Miami arriving around midnight.
oh, Taca did bring out a drink cart in SJO
@derek – you actually carry cash? ATMs work pretty well, no?
SFO/EWR electronic recognition might well work in major air and sea terminals, but not everyone travels that way. Two weeks ago I was picked up by a long haul bus on a street corner in Warsaw and took it to Tallinn. The driver glanced at my passport just to make sure there were no questions. International movement like that, by car at remote border crossings, and by foot, ferry or train and so on remain very common. So passports are still very useful.
Even if everyone had passports – good luck getting American to pay a few bucks for immigration fee in Bahamas to let people through. The masters of efficiency would certainly not allow that. But maybe we should all empathize with AA, it’s not like Miami is their largest hub and Nassau is 50 minutes away.
What a whiny Karen. I’m sure AA didn’t want to set down in the Bahamas and did what they felt was best overall given the circumstances. The Bahamas aren’t going to give everyone e cots, blankets etc and I’m sure most can go a few hours w no food.
They survived and are likely home with a story to tell. Of course in the age of social media someone e has to whine. Again, what a Karen
Lying is part of the culture of American Airlines and most USA airlines so I wonder if the reason given was really the reason. A review of the NOAA site indicates that tropical storm force winds from Debby didn’t get anywhere near Miami. Even so, contingency planning would have more fuel put on the airplane so different scenarios could be considered if there was a problem at MIA. Also, since the flights to and from Puerto Rico are short enough, why not use crew who have the maximum time available to fly there and back when bad weather is forecast? Did the crew get to rest in hotels or were they also limited to the airport and stranded for the same amount of time? Personally, I have taken to carrying my passport with me when I fly across the USA because sometimes things happen.
JNS that isn’t quite accurate. SOFL was on the dirty side of the storm. Which the dirty side is always the NE quadrant of a hurricane. The dirty side gives you equally weather, and an enhanced chance of tornadoes occuring. I live in Broward, and along with Dade we certainly had feeder bands from the storm cycling through on Sat. In Miami, they were getting rocked pretty good Saturday evening. Later that night, almost all of Broward was under a tornado warning due to the thunderstorms associated with Debby.
While I can’t stand flying AA these days they weren’t lying on this one. But I don’t understand why they didn’t land in FLL. If I remember correctly, around the of the diversion things were quiet here.
Always keep my passport on me when I leave the country to go to Puerto Rico or Miami.
I once was on BOS to SEA and we landed in Thunder Bay Ontario while they fixed a fuel sensor or fuel gage. We were allowed off and they had a bar and restaurant where we drank Canadian beer and watched the first half of a CFL game. There was a Canadian RCMP officer but she mostly surfed her phone.
On landing in Seattle they asked if anyone bought something in Canada to please self report to about 4 or 5 CBP guys lining the jet bridge. They just let everyone pass.
It was actually a cool experience.
File this under $h!t happens. AA certainly did not want to divert to the Bahamas. It was making the best of a bad situation. Everyone made it back safely.
The Bahamas don’t spend money on things like customs – its still all very much old school. The problem here is that Bahamas customs didn’t allow anyone entry without a valid passport, which is required; so they had to stay in the US Preclearance section of the airport.
I was on a domestic Canadian flight and we ended up diverting to Anchorage; only myself and 5 of us had passports and were the 1st to get cleared; the rest of the folks on board were cleared manually by US customs and put up for the night – but it took them about 3 hours.
Ever since that flight, I carry my passport with me.
@derek … +1 . Bravo on the Yen .
@haolenate … +1 . If you fly Calgary to Vancouver , you can expect to divert to Alaska .
Every country has their rules! If it was in America you would’ve been treated the same way! In fact immigration would’ve had you watch like criminals until you leave! The airline is responsible for a passenger and fined if they’re not accounted for! The airline is also responsible for their passengers needs, but they were too cheap to spend the extra money to accommodate us! Nassau owed us nothing!!!
@Victor Warren, thanks for the personal observation of the weather at MIA. I tried to find out how many flights to or from MIA were altered due to weather but I could not find a precise answer that would be correct for the right time period. I know Florida has a lot of airports that the flight could have gone to if there was sufficient fuel. If FLL was ok for landing, the question of why land in Nassau still has to be answered.
I always travel with one of my passports. Never know when you might need to leave the country either inadvertently or in a hurry.
Diversion, understood.
Stuck in airport, u derstood.
No food, water, or blamkets? AA should have been able to handle this better!
I am glad there wasn’t a crash and everyone is safe and well lets complain about some nonsense over an unprecedented circumstance
@Tom: Someone has to be uninformed or a fool to have an ATM/debit card these days. I haven’t carried one in 20 years.
This is just funny:
@Tom: Someone has to be uninformed or a fool to have an ATM/debit card these days. I haven’t carried one in 20 years.
Do you use an abacus as well? What is your concern??
AA did not provide any food, or WATER o the passengers stuck in the terminal for 8 hours?
Why is that not a crime and AA employees aren’t going to jail for this?
Oh, yeah, deregulation. The US is really the pits.
The people who worry about debit cards/ATM cards are probably either preppers who worry about doomsday or people who worry about identity theft.
If people with medical conditions had their medications*on the plane!” – they’re fools. Medicine, keys and documents should never be put in checked baggage.
I wonder in this case if having the passport card or global entry card helps or makes no difference
Don’t blame Nassau International Airport for your crappy experience. Blame American Airlines who should have made sure that you guys were comfortable. Next time I bet you’ll travel with your passport. I am sure the American Airlines crew didn’t spend the night at the airport.
Raymond August 3: my flight was supposed to take off at 5:58pm on a Friday my flight was delayed till 9:15 at 9:15 they never answered the chande of gate I was getting text with the delayed info! So why check the screen the text didn’t contain no gate changes so I check the gate and I saw the gate changes I was still on time 9:15pm when I got the the gate was close! They told me to go to the rebooking line gate d37 so there was a big line it took 3 hours just to get to the service agents to give me a flight to 7pm this was on Friday! Slept on the floor from Friday to Saturday so at 7pm got on the plane the plane moved to take off just to announce that laguardia airport wasn’t taking no planes do to weather conditions so it turn around let us off on gate 19 miami and kept delaying the flight I already knew that I was getting on no flight!!! Another day sleeping on the airport again my 2 day!!! Got a number to tell me that they only had a flight on Tuesday 7:24 am so I had no choice mind you from Friday to Tuesday that’s 4 days! And I have a carry on that left on my first flight at laguardia so on Tuesday I landed on jfk had to travel laguardia airport to get my carry on!!! What a horrible experience never again I will be flying American airlines they service is terrible and terrifying
SFO/ EWR I’m sorry. Are you saying you expect the UK government to have the facial patterns and biometrics of every US citizen held not only centrally but also to go distributing all that data to even independent Crown Colonies. Or for the Bahamian Gov itself to hold the same information and complex data sets on American citizens? Coz that’s basically what you’re complaining about not being a thing.
I think a reasonable chunk of us have concerns about what our own government holds on us at times. Let alone every government around the world holding such ‘just in case’.
Was AA supposed to fly the plane in unsafe conditions? I don’t understand why people whine when sh*t happens. Carry snacks and your meds and water with you when you travel. You never know what will happen. It’s called adulting. I don’t board a plane without 3 days worth of meds, a full bottle of water and a number of snacks plus a jacket and a rain jacket plus a change of clothes.
Good for you AAnonymous butthat’s a bit OCD for normal people.
“one bathroom for 100 people, dogs, children, no information” First, your flight had 3 bathrooms for a plane that can hold 178 (passengers plus crew). Even if there is just a one one-person bathroom for 100, that isn’t relative crazy. And, I suspect there was really one “men’s” and one “women’s” that may have been multipurpose each. There are no seatbelt lights, so availability is about the same. And remember, you haven’t been given food or water. Second, yet another reason for no dogs, but it does address food needs if it dragged on. Third, people packed essential drugs? Sounds like a bad time made to look worse by whining and made worse by bad choices.
I can’t really fault them for no passports, but now I don’t look so silly for having mine on every flight. It’s just in a case in my backpack that is my only carryon every flight.
@alert – it was a flight to Whitehorse, and we couldnt land due to thick fog in the Yukon River valley.
BUT, I have heard of some flights bound for Van end up in Bellingham (for fuel) because other airports that were able to take on AC/WS/others were packed already.
I was on a flight from PHL to MIA in September, 2023. We were diverted to Nassau because of weather. Fortunately, when we were able to leave, there was a crew to take the plane to MIA. We were only there about 2 hours. Only crew got off the plane.
@haolenate,
The Bahamas spends a great deal of money on customs.
They have a large amount of import taxes on goods to the islands vs. Income taxes, so they’re use to people trying to fly to Miami to save money on big purchases.
They usually employee more people per average traveller to do bag searches on arrival, which are prominent for their own residents.
A lot of this is out of the hands of AA. I do wonder with weather all around the Caribbean maybe just cancelling the flight out SJU would have been more prudent. But I also understand the desire to get people to where they want to be.
AA Ops could have handled this better. The weather was no secret. As it was a short flight, the contingency of simply returning back to SJU should have been planned.
Interesting – I thought Republicans were alone in the world for thinking borders matter. Looks like the Bahamas have much stricter rules than Republicans propose
There is nothing that can justify not at least providing water and snacks for 12+ hours, especially with children and elderly people on board. I hope they sue American Airlines.
Could have been worse. They could have made you spend the night in downtown Nassau.
They were never “illegal immigrants” at any point for a myriad of reasons. I though this blog was better than clickbait titles like that. They basically had the status of ‘transit’ passengers. Which put them in no man’s land. However, to the folks saying that if you had your passport you wouldn’t have been trapped; I’m not so sure. I think it depends on whether border officials in the Bahamas were notified in advance by AA and wiling to let passport holders into the country..
And, I have to say, I’ve flown to Puerto Rico a bazillion times over the years and never brought my passport. Why not? Because I would never anticipate needing it. The odds of it being lost or stolen are far higher than the odds of something like this happening. Rough trip for all involved.
Everyone is commenting on the lack of a passport. The big lesson here is to always have your medication ON YOUR PERSON. Yes, people were inconvenienced but the people without their medication – they were in serious trouble. Agree that the Bahamian airport should have been more accommodating to all.
A bunch of whiners
I have been in that airport many times and never had a single problem and kind of like the fact that it is small
Remember when American was a great airline? Nah, me neither. I avoid them.
In these cases when I’ve been in them, they want to keep all the passengers together so when the flight is cleared to leave they’re all there, not some there, others in hotels resting or outside the airport eating or shopping. And would you have rather the airline press on and the plane go down? Plus, in answer to some posts, the decision to take off and to divert wasn’t made by AA, it was made by air traffic control, probably from Miami.
Never really thought about carrying a passport for a domestic flight, but this shows that flights going near to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean could need to land outside the USA. From what I have read most Americans don’t have passports as don’t travel outside our country unlike people from smaller countries.
Just curious: why didn’t the passengers who had passports buy some food for those who were stuck at the airport! Or better still, wouldn’t be cool to have had some food paid for by the airline even if passengers had to pay back!
If you had your own plane, you’d be home now.
I agree that it was out of AA control. But you can’t tell me that this is the first time they’ve had to land in another country due to weather or mechanical issues. So AA should have made arrangements/footed the bill to get food, water and blankets for these passengers.
American Airlines is terrible I told I cannot sit in middle because of blood clot in leg guess where my seat was such idiots that only seat we have I have a letter and everything they had no choice but to put in first class or they would have put me up in hotel and fly next day I always fly with my doctors note they had to call, supervisor and everything and it was it in Computer they do not look. I never have issues with spirit or with frontier only with major ones. They wonder they are losing money the big ones
The same happened to us a few years ago also with American Airlines. We flew from Phoenix to Miami in First Class but a very brief storm prevented us from landing and for some inexplicable reason we were diverted to Nassau rather than another airport in Florida. In Nassau we sat on the plane for hours before deplaning at night and herded into a waiting room. There was nobody from AA there and despite asking the crew to get someone nobody ever arrived. The airport closed, we had no food or water and the crew departed for who knows where so we had no idea what was going on. We sat in this miserable cramped with not enough seats for everyone for several hours before another aircraft arrived to take us back to Miami where we landed at about 3AM. Yet again there was absolutely nobody from AA to look after us. We grabbed a taxi and went to an airport hotel. We wound up losing our $500+ hotel we had booked in Palm Beach, our rental car reservation plus had to search around for another at a much higher rate and lost a whole day of a one week vacation. I lodged a complaint with AA who would only offer a measly 10,000 point credit, which is of no use because we will never fly this utterly mismanaged airline ever again.
Anyone who flies American Airlines gets exactly what they deserve. I have zero sympathy for the passengers. Fly a better airline or stay home
This is why you should always travel with your passport. I have had yo use it to verify my age at a few bars because they can’t do out of state IDs. Also you never know if you might end up in a foreign country.
The passengers should have stopped the airline crew from leaving airport and make them strand with them. This kind of crew deserves punishment.
Safety first…. but this pilot can’t drive beyond certain hours needs rethinking.
Good questions in the comments. Why fellow passengers did not help?
I wonder how many passengers are trying to figure out how much they can sue for
So where did all the other planes go that had to divert or was it just this one plane that diverted? Also, did it take all the other planes 14 hours to get to Miami after diverting or was it just this one flight?
These problems can happen domestically on AA. I’m an engineer, get sent who knows where. When I go, I don’t know when the problem will get fixed and when I can leave.
I’m in Dallas, get done with job. I call AA at the 1-800 number and am told they can’t reschedule an open ticket over the phone, I have to go to DFW airport.
I go early the next morning. Get to ticket counter and am told they can’t rebook, have to go to gate. But I can’t take my equipment through security. They’re sure I’ll get on flight number xxx. Check my bags, go through security. Go to the gate.
Am told I can’t get on the flight, I have to call the 1-800 number.
Good thing I have good self control or I might have been arrested.
Shoulda woulda coulda. Unfortunately none of it was a possibility. They are transportation company, not magicians.
Perhaps this is a lesson for everyone to travel with your passport.
Things happen…you have to be proactive when you travel…..
It could have easily been a medical emergency for more than one passenger.
Just saying…..
When I got my passport I added on the passport ID card it comes with me everywhere most of the people I know that have applied for passports in the last six or so years have paid the extra money for it as far as I know it’s just as acceptable as a passport I’m not sure about Europe but I do know people who have gone to islands off of the United States that will accept them
The problem with the airport in Nassau is all shops and restaurants close around 6/7 pm so when these diversions start coming in, there is zero food service . These diversions are supposed to be simply to refuel and get out but it is not always that simple. Some end up requiring maintenance and in other cases crew time out. When this happens the situation becomes complicated . But in this case, a domestic flights should have never been rerouted to an international port. Florida is just a stone’s throw away!!!
Even the once-premium airline Lufthansa has become a sh*t carrier! In June, we experienced last-minute flight cancellations, 3.5 hr flight delays, no access to a live Lufthansa agent and losing our business class seats to economy seats!
@ Michael — So, now a doctor’s note can require an airline to put you in first class? Good luck with that. I recommend you purchase first class.
Not like the Bahamas has 24 hour amazing service available from any number of quality providers. It would require payment up front, and somebody proactively working on the pax behalf. Not something anyone should expect from American any more.
American Airlines has posted profits of more than 11 billion in 2023 and they have no contingency plans for passengers of such emergencies? Totally unacceptable!! Vendors from these counties will be happy to provide services to such companies! They(AA), need to be held accountable. I agree that more legal actions should be pursued to prevent these companies from mistreating customers and they must be responsible for providing food and comfort for passengers of these emergencies.
@ Susan
Passport ID card is not valid as passport, unless you use it when driving to/from U.S. And Canada.
American Airline is the WORSE airline I have ever have the displeasure of traveling with, Do yourself a favor and DON’T travel with AA, They are incompetent don’t care about their passengers and commit illegalities like this every day, the FAA and FBI should launch an investigation on this “unexpected landings” in the Bahamas, they might be loading drugs in planes from the Bahamas to Miami just like the cartels used to do back in the days. Just a thought…
I never carry a passport unless flying internationally. Also only about 30% of Americans have passports.
The Bahamas airport usually kicks out everyone at night. Had a flight cancelled was told had to leave as they were closing, if u didn’t leave u would be arrested.
When it is open, it’s not a great place to wait
We, all of you reading this are getting shared the Truth that is the cure and prevention of all needless and preventable suffering and death: “Life is Most Important in Life is The Most Important Truth in Life”, whether you like it or want it, or not. If you didn’t want it and are not a person who is now going to responsibly publicly affirm it and share it (distribute it), then you now hold full responsibility for every single case of needless and preventable suffering and death that ever occurs going forward that happens to yourself and/or others, and have earned and deserve the problems you have caused by withholding the knowledge and distribution.
They used to call it the In transit lounge and it was exactly for people changing flights to fly off to different countries. There were at least vending machines. It would have been nice if the people with passports went and collected money and went to buy food for everyone else. But it’s all about me.
WARNING!
“The card is for U.S. citizens who travel by land and sea from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and Caribbean countries.
“The card is not valid for international travel by air and is cheaper than the passport book.”
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/card.html
“The passengers should have stopped the airline crew from leaving airport” I submit this is utterly ridiculous. Any crew staying with passengers would be bombarded by constant questions they can’t answer. I would fear for their safety. Plus, it is possible the pilots would be expected to ferry it out and should get their rest. You are asking for sacrificial lambs.
True that re: Passport Card validity …. semi-useless.
The Bahamas has Immigration laws just like America. Americans need to stop this entitled mindset that everyone has to throw away their laws when it comes to them because they are from the “Great USA”. Everyone knows when going to those territories that there is a possibility that you may have to land in another country. You can’t expect the Bahamas to just let you all leave the airport with no Passport. They have their citizens to protect. Americans commit crimes as well especially over there. I will never forget the Barefoot bandit who stole a plane, landed illegally on a Bahamian Island and broke into peoples homes and robbed them at gun point. Get over yourselves.
Things happen, it is how you handle them that matters. AA does not handle simple problems well, much less bigger problems.
Been stuck in US with AA and they are awful. If they have a plan it is not obvious to anyone including their employees, pilot will say one thing, gate persons exact opposite. Very sad, I avoid AA if at all possible anymore.
They were in a foreign country. All laws that applied are in that country. I guess if they violated civil rights in the Bahamas, they could sue in that country.
They don’t care about employees less they’re gonna care for the passengers.
They already have the money so why bothering
Canada
Travel by air has complications at times that are beyond passengers control. If you don’t like that possible anticipation, take a bus or drive. I’m so fed up with people complaining about everything. AA is no worse than any other airline and you always have a choice.. book with some other airline. For those of us who frequently fly for work it’s part of what could occur. It’s those who fly 2 or maybe 3 times a year that are the whiners. Change carriers and stop always talking about suing. Since flying became affordable to everyone, etiquette has gone out the windows. It’s like a ” bus in the air”.
I think I see a need for some new legislation by Congress to ensure the same passenger rights apply in a situation where a domestic flight lands is diverted to an international airport. Airlines should all be responsible for providing water and at least small snacks. Crazy.
Anyone remembers 9/11? I always travel with my passport, even if I’m going to a neighboring city on vacation.you never know when you may need to get on a plane or other type of transportation to get out of the US.
For those who say plane should have been diverted to a US destination, please remember the plane was diverted for weather conditions. There aren’t any US countries between Puerto Rico and Miami except the US Virgin Islands, which aren’t in the flight path of Miami and Puerto Rico.. There may not have been an US destination that the plane could safely get to because of fuel, air traffic, weather, crew regulations, etc. I agree with Italia “The Bahamas has Immigration laws just like America. Americans need to stop this entitled mindset that everyone has to throw away their laws when it comes to them because they are from the “Great USA”.
I, in no way, am making light of the passengers experience with my next statement, but maybe now they can understand what “illegal” migrants endure.
Jesus Christ the moronic uneducated comments.
Some of you need to stay home.
You don’t need a passport to go to the Bahamas…
In April of 2023, my wife and I were bumped from our American Airlines flight from Sydney to LAX. The reason? We had not been in the terminal for the required 90 minutes prior to our flight. Our flight from Coolangatta Regional Airport was delayed 30 minutes. We were at the gate with 10 minutes left before take off and the American gate staff gave our seats to standby passengers. Much later we were flown in the opposite direction into Melbourne and then to LAX. This fiasco turned a 26 hour trip into a 42 hour misadventure. And because it was an international flight, we had no compensation due us
My husband travels American Airlines every Monday and every Friday home. It is NEVER without some sort of complication on Fridays to get home. We’ve heard every excuse for late planes causing missed connectors continuously, pilots running out of hours? Why is there not a replacement pilot available? Unfortunately you don’t have all the options of choosing other airlines!!!! He has been flying for several years and every single Friday is a disaster for him to get home. There’s never a new flight to book to replace the one missed! He is a Vice President who loves his job but is EXTREMELY STRESSED OUT due to Airlines, especially American Airlines, because he can’t get home on Fridays. NO EXCUSES!
It really doesn’t matter which airline you choose; loyalty is often unrewarded, challenges to good customer service are not addressed, and on board amenities no longer are offered. When a bottle of water is $6.00 and a sandwich worth 3.00 is $15.95 or $18.95 with potato chips, you know it’s probably not going to be a great flight. You wanted the government to mandate lower priced tickets? You got it. Now you’re not happy? Every service has its own price. Buy it if you wish. What does it take to make you happy?
@Italia
No one is saying the Bahamas should have dome anything differently.
Maybe stick to Italian because it is clear you have reading comprehension issues in English you insecure eurotrash.
Nadine, what’s your first language? “There aren’t any us countries between Puerto Rico and Florida”
Do you mean states or territories?
And illegal immigrants get fed and housed here. Quit it.
Food, water and blankets, yeah, that’s kind of on AA and the Bahamas. Medication, that’s 100% on the traveler…
