You get to the airport, you’re excited, and…you realize your bag is way over your airline’s weight limit. After getting charged an extra $100 for checking a heavy bag, you go get in the security line when you find out you lost your ID! Now, you get a notification that your flight is delayed 3 hours and you are going to miss your connecting flight. What do you do now?
