Airline troubles part 2

I was talking about how much the airlines can really mess things up, so im picking up where i left off. After the flight attendant at the gate told us we were going to have to wait until 12:30 for the plane to finish not being broken, another tasty tid bit of information blindsided us. As we waited for the airline to compensate us with 6 dollar meal vouchers (the only food place open at the time was burger king), the same flight attendant announced that we were going to get a new plane. At this we all saw the possibility of hope, of maybe getting to spain around the time we were originally lead to believe. He then told us that because it was a new plane, and that it had to fly in first, our new flight time would be dun dun dun!!! 2:30 AM!!!! At this, you can only imagine the incredulous uproar of me and my fellow passengers. We were told that there was nothing the airline could do, and that we would have to wait. However, after several hours of waiting and sleeping on the floor we were told that the air craft was coming out of Africa and that it needed extra security, and a restock of food. New flight time? 3:30am
