Elizaveta Dmitrieva: "I'm waiting for a delayed flight to Barcelona. There is a lot of people waiting for their flights from early morning that haven't arrived yet".

"We had a short layover at Moscow Airport and then continued to Houston, TX. I am still dealing with all the smoke I breathed in at the airport, and I was only there for about 2 hours." Photo: Jennifer Fey
