The Queue or the Train

Nina wanted to reach Edinburgh before her friend's neighbor went to bed. The neighbor was keeping the key. If Nina arrived late, she would have a city and no door.

The screen at the airport said her flight was cancelled. A staff member offered a seat on a plane the next morning and pointed to a queue for questions. The queue was already long. People were asking about hotels, receipts, and what the airline owed them. Nina had read that in the European Union a cancelled flight can give a passenger a claim, and that the details depend on the route and the airline. She also knew the neighbor would not wait forever.

She stepped out of the queue and looked up trains. There was still a departure from London King's Cross to Edinburgh that evening.
