Last updated on August 16th, 2023 at 12:22 pm

A Houston teacher is going viral on TikTok after documenting his travel nightmare with his students. Dr. Trevor Buffone and 31 students from Carnegie Vanguard High School were supposed to return home from a week-long trip to Japan on Friday, August 5. However, their flight was canceled and they were stuck in Osaka for several days.

Buffone took to TikTok to share videos of their ordeal. In one video, he shows the students sleeping on the floor of the airport. In another video, he shows the students eating ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In a third video, he shows the students trying to get a refund from American Airlines.

Buffone’s videos have been viewed millions of times. He has received messages of support from people all over the world. Some people have even offered to donate money to help the students get home.

After several days of delays, Buffone and the students were finally able to get on a flight home on Monday, August 8. They arrived in Houston late at night, exhausted but relieved to be back home.

Buffone said he is grateful for the support he has received from the community. He said he hopes his story will help other travelers avoid a similar nightmare.

“I just want people to be aware of what can happen,” he said. “It’s important to have a backup plan, and to be prepared for the unexpected.”

Buffone’s story is a reminder that travel can be unpredictable. It is important to be prepared for anything and to have a backup plan in case of delays or cancellations. It is also important to be patient and understanding, as travel can be stressful for everyone involved.

Buffone’s story has also sparked a conversation about the importance of customer service. Many people have criticized American Airlines for its handling of the situation. American Airlines has since apologized for the inconvenience and offered refunds to the affected passengers.

This incident is a reminder that even the best-laid plans can go awry. However, it is important to stay calm and positive in the face of adversity. With a little patience and understanding, most travel problems can be resolved.
