5. Options:
#1: Return to Columbus and book individual travel to your home airport
#2: Contact Delta once we are ticketed to change your flight manually (fee will be incurred)
#3: Give up final leg of flight (ATL-CMH) and book your own one-way from ATL to your home airport (may be cheapest)

6. (cont):
Given individual preferences, preferred arrival home, financial limitations, and other details, participants will make their own decisions in regard to flight changes
However, I am happy to offer assistance if need be!
