Similar thing happened to me with FBC, our flight from Florida to Newark was in the afternoon in the summer, with only an 1hr and 10 minute layover.before out flight to Paris.
there was an earlier flight out of Florida, but they refused to change it I fought it for weeks.
so, our flight from Florida was delayed, due to thunderstorms,we missed our Paris flight and spent the night in a hotel in Newark!!!
Never Again
