About this episode
Hello everyone, in today's unscripted Mandarin chat, I talked about my flight cancellation by American Airline today due to weather. My only hope now is that I will be able to fly out successfully on the rebooked flight early Sunday morning so that my trip is not cut any shorter. If you travel this summer, beware of the weather factor and the staffing shortage of airlines that can cause delays and cancellations. I hope we can all have a smooth trip.
