history: I recently had a flight delayed by several hours and I was really afraid it was going to be cancelled altogether. On a recent trip there was some bad weather that caused my flight to be delayed several hours. It was already late so i was afraid they would cancel the flight altogether.
current: That is no good!  Did you manage to get on it?
next: Yes! Thank goodness. They didn't cancel. I just got home much later than I had hoped.
