Thank you. That gives me some kinda of hope!.. He's calling the airline as we speak and going to ask why he was re-routed home instead of being allowed aboard the AMS flight. He's also going to ask about rescheduling a flight for some point this week for next. This is a total nightmare situation that I never thought would happen for someone who was planning on visiting the UK for a couple weeks.
