‘Mad Men’ Star January Jones Slams United Airlines For 16-Hour Flight Delay – And $15 Food Coupon As Compensation

On Sunday, Mad Men actress January Jones ripped United Airlines for a major delay on her yet-to-depart flight.

In a screenshot posted to Instagram stories, Jones showed a page with flight-delay information detailing a 16-hour and 25-minute delay for her trip. Jones tagged United Airlines and wrote, “Do better.”

“A couple of $15 food vouchers isn’t gonna cut it,” she added, “Our 7:30 [flight] last night still hasn’t left.”

Jones followed up with a photo of herself on the airport floor, resting her head on a bag, writing, “Is there still a secretary of transportation? Can’t remember what’s left.”

Jones’ comment was a shot at President Donald Trump, who has cut thousands of federal employees since his inauguration, including hundreds of workers at the Department of Transportation. In January, Trump appointed former reality television personality Sean Duffy as his secretary of transportation.

A spokesperson for United Airlines claimed that Jones’ flight was under the airline SkyWest. A spokesperson for SkyWest was delayed because of a “mechanical issue.” 

The spokesperson assured, “A new aircraft has been assigned and we are working to get customers to their destination as quickly as possible. Passengers were provided with hotel and meal vouchers and compensation before the flight departed Sunday on a different aircraft. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

SkyWest’s website stated that it will “do our best to keep you informed about the status of your flight when there is an operational irregularity ” and provide meal and overnight accommodations in the event of canceled flights “due to”factors within our control.”
