She says last night she got a text saying her flight had been rescheduled and that she would have a layover in Austin, arriving in LA later.

"We're just trying to figure out what's going on. We're trying to avoid this line, and we are just trying to get home. This is a mess," Davis said. "Don't wait one or two days before Christmas. We talked to one customer whose flight was rescheduled until Sunday."
