'Americans are stressed and just trying to get home,' said an NBC News journalist at Berlin's main airport.
The travel ban goes into effect Friday at midnight and the restrictions apply only to foreign nationals, and not U.S. citizens, green card holders or the families of U.S. citizens., these distinctions were less clear, with Trump saying the U.S. would"be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days."
The president did add that"there will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings" — but that appeared to do little to temper the confusion and alarm at several European airports. "Lots of chaotic energy in Tegel right now," said NBC News journalist Shannon Ho, who was at Berlin's Tegel airport about to fly home from vacation just hours after the restrictions were announced."Americans are stressed and just trying to get home," she added, after speaking with several U.S. citizens there amid the panic."One man woke up to his boss at 3 a.m. demanding he come home today instead of his planned Saturday return.
Elsewhere, travelers reported long lines of Americans trying to get home at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. New York Times reporter Mike McIntire described the situation as"bedlam" and said Americans were paying as much as $20,000 for a ticket home. Bedlam at U.S.-bound airlines at CDG in Paris early this a.m., as Americans pay as much as $20,000 for last-minute flights.
