Passengers planning to spend the holiday break in Las Vegas were left stranded in North Carolina after Frontier Airlines cancelled their flight last minute Monday night.
Flight 115 was set to depart from Raleigh-Durham International Airport at 9:25 p.m. but never left the airport, WRAL reports.
As passengers were preparing to board, the airline informed them that one of the flight attendants had worked too many hours and would not be able to fly.

Passengers told WRAL the airline offered them all $400 vouchers for the cancelled flight — but they wouldn’t be receiving them for another 30 days.
Many upset customers returned home, unable to take their planned trip. Others rebooked on different airlines but at a much higher cost because of the last-minute circumstance.
"They've gone from $129 to $800 per ticket," David Eilers told WRAL. "So that's $1,600 dollars, and they're saying they going to give us $400 in air credit. Everyone here is pretty disgusted. We're all on the same boat."
Passengers did say Frontier offered to pay for overnight lodging. Frontier Airlines did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
