Passenger Endures 20-Hour Air India Flight Delay
A man had to wait for 20 hours to fly from Delhi to Mumbai because of thick fog and problems with the airline.
He left his home early in the morning but had to wait a long time at the airport.
The flight was delayed many times, and the passengers got very upset.
The airline didn't have enough workers to help, and they didn't tell the passengers what was happening.
Finally, the man got home almost 20 hours after he left, feeling very tired and frustrated.
He wondered if the airline could have done better to prepare for the fog and communicate with the passengers.
