FAA national ground stop: Lions fans trying to leave for Germany stuck at the airport

Okay, so I have a, this is a family affair, a whole family of Lions fans on their way to Germany for the game. Rashada, tell me, and Kari, what are you being told at this point? So we just got an update from the airline. They said two hours and 25 minutes for a delay, so we got our fingers crossed. It's not canceled, so. So fingers crossed. What are your thoughts though? I'm just ready to go see the Lions play in Germany and get on their plane. This is a big deal. I'm sure you guys, you've probably had these tickets for a while and have this planned. I mean, this isn't like the thing that you sort of generally do last minute, right? So how long have you been excited about this? Did you really just do this last minute? Two weeks ago you said, let's do it. Oh, man. We just got game tickets last night. Wow. So you were going to go with or without game tickets? No, we were getting game tickets. I don't know. Yeah, they were really high, but, yeah, we found some good seats. So we didn't want to sit in the nosebleeds, so we was kind of, like, riding the fence. But we got some good tickets, so. All right. So, so far, they've not canceled your flight, and you are going to go through security and hope for the best. Yeah. We're going to eat. We're going to go back there and eat and wait. Well, I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you that you are just delayed and get there in time for the game. Pardon? What are you doing? Well, right now it's a ground stop, you know, so we don't know when that's going to be lifted or how that ripple effect is going to affect, you know, delays. Because a lot of delays are going to cancellations. Right now. And so, you know, we've talked to people who booked, you know, who were booked for today and now they rebooked for tomorrow for a flight to wherever or for Sunday. But right now we don't know because you don't know how much that's going to back up because of the backlog. Right. So, yeah. But. I mean, maybe it'll happen, like let's hope they get this figured out. Fingers crossed. Go Lions. Go Lions. Go Lions. Pour it down a few. Thank you guys. Thanks for stopping to talk to us. Yes, you have a good one too. I hope you get there and have a great time. So right now you just heard. From Rashad Ankari, your brother, and the rest of the family, they're being told delayed. So they're going to stick it out and hope for the best. But a lot of the other people that we've talked to have said that they're being told, you know, expect the next update at around 11 o'clock. So it's tough to tell exactly when we're going to get the latest information. They're going to make their way through security and keep their fingers crossed.
