This is exactly the reason it pays to have trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance, either

An unlucky group of JetBlue cheap car rentals nj passengers trapped in Barbados, as airlines had to cancel over 5,000 U.S. flights in two days, due to snowstorm that hit the Northeast. Some of them may not get back to New York for a week.
A JetBlue spokesperson explained that the problem is that the New York to Barbados route is served by only one Airbus A321 plane, which seats just 120 passengers. Since many customers had booked trips home after the New Year s holiday, there is not a lot of extra capacity to absorb passengers whose flights were cancelled. If customers are stuck without a flight for three days, the airline will prioritize getting them home. While it s not likely that some will be stuck in Barbados for as long as a week, it s not impossible, either.
The airline may be able to run an extra flight if a crew and aircraft are available, but that is not sure. The storm left passengers stuck all over, and new FAA rules that limit the number of consecutive hours pilots can fly go into effect on Saturday.JetBlue usually does not pay for accommodations for passengers stranded by weather events, like most airlines.
