Frustrated passengers claimed the airline would not return their luggage or exchange tickets for other flights. Instead, passengers were stranded at the airport for more than a day, and said they were only given a $12 food voucher.

A flight grounded hundreds of Hawaii-bound passengers at a New York City airport for nearly 33 hours before finally taking off on Wednesday.

The Hawaiian Airlines flight departing from JFK Airport missed its 10 a.m. takeoff on Tuesday after the crew"reported an odor during a pre-departure cabin check." The passengers heading to Honolulu sat through one delay, then a second delay -- starting what would eventually stretch into a day-long wait to get on board their plane.

"Every time they delay it, they don’t give us a real reason for the delay," Joe Rao, Jr., one of the passengers, told News 4."We learned that there was a malfunction of some kind, a mechanical issue of some kind, that needed to be remedied and they said that the part needed to be flown in from Atlanta, Georgia.""Then the pilot didn't wanna clear the flight because he said it smelled of fumes," Rao said.
