<human>: Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the right place. I'm looking for advice for the situation outlined in the title. Here's a timeline:
___
**early June**: Book flight from Grenada to the U.S. on Dec 13, departing 9:40 AM

**late June**: University releases schedule change for exams that says that the last one is on December 7th instead of the 12th.

**August 30**: Change flight to depart on Dec 8th, 9:40 AM; receive confirmation email

**October 25**: Receive email informing me of flight time change to Dec 8 flight, now at 8:15 AM

**November 8**: Purchase / confirm seats online for Dec 8th flight; receive confirmation email

**December 5 (today)** Call to confirm that my pet is okay to fly in three days, get told that I am scheduled for December 13th
_______

I'm on a small island and everyone is flying home for Christmas break, and there are no other flights to the U.S. by American Airlines in that time. There are some other flights by other airlines, but they're all some combination of (1) multiple stops between here and Florida, (2) long layovers, (3) small Caribbean airlines, (4) expensive, and (5) most stop over in either Trinidad or Barbados, and they have particular restrictions on traveling with pets. San Juan is the only viable option among them, though Skyscanner is also helpfully suggesting stopping over in London Gatwick . . .

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: If I want to take another flight between my intended flight and Dec 13, it'd be about $1000, three stopovers, and 15 hours of travel. )
