"And then now, now we're worried about flights."His Southwest flight out of SJC is scheduled for Saturday morning, and hasn't been canceled yet.

"Spending the amount of money we did on these tickets- we have to go. So we're flying United at this point, regardless of what Southwest does with that specific flight," he explained.
