7/ Went to CDG airport and tried to get refund at the Delta counter, but 100 people are in line. Said screw it and just got on the plane, which is where I am right now with a bunch of other exhausted Americans being served complimentary Peach Bellinis.

Just to clarify, I didn’t spend $20,000 on tickets (what I DID spend was bad enough). A Delta ticket agent at CDG told me that’s how much one American passenger spent online in the hours after President Trump’s announcement.

Final note: An experienced flight attendant on our get-away plane from Europe said he hasn't seen anything like this since 9-11, in terms of chaos, panic and sky-rocketing fares. He fears it will only get worse.

Sorry for your wasted money and anxiety — Americans are not banned from the US at all. Here is the Proclamation itself.
