But at the end of the day I think 5K is fairly reasonable, maybe 10K at most. Just my opinion as not only a frequent leisure flyer, but also an airline pilot who sees tons of delays and all of the myriads of things that must “go right” for a flight to actually takeoff. Things happen and it’s best to just chalk it up to another travel adventure
