January Jones had some harsh words for an airline's compensation for a 16-hour flight delay.
On Sunday, the Mad Men star, 47, took to Instagram to criticize the airline for only offering her 'a couple $15 food vouchers' for the inconvenience.
She shared a screenshot showing how her flight over the weekend did not arrive on schedule and was delayed for 16 hours and 25 minutes.
'Do better,' she wrote as she tagged United Airline's official Instagram account. 'A couple $15 food vouchers isn't gonna cut it. Our 7:30 [p.m. flight] last night still hasn't left.'
The actress — who was briefly romantically linked to Kevin Costner, 70, earlier this year — shared a follow-up post on her Instagram Story of herself lying down on the ground at her gate in the airport, using her carry-on bag as a pillow.
In a seemingly shady caption addressing the government changes since Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, she wrote over the snap: 'Is there still a secretary of transportation? Can't remember what's left...'

The actress, who is best known for her portrayal of Betty Draper in the drama series Mad Men, has not yet shared a follow-up update about whether or not she was able to get on another flight.
A spokesperson for United Airlines said the flight that Jones was scheduled to be on was operated by regional airline SkyWest, according to People.
A representative for SkyWest told the outlet the flight was operating as United Express and 'was delayed overnight due to a mechanical issue.'
'A new aircraft has been assigned and we are working to get customers to their destination as quickly as possible,' the spokesperson said.
'Passengers were provided with meal vouchers and compensation. We apologize for the inconvenience.'
On SkyWest's official website, the company states that it will 'do our best to keep you informed about the status of your flight when there is an operational irregularity.'
SkyWest also said the company will provide meal and overnight accommodations when flights are canceled 'due to factors within our control.'
Competitive companies such as JetBlue, Southwest, Delta and American Airlines are among those committed to providing 'meal cash or vouchers' if customers have to wait three hours or more for a new flight, according to the Department of Transportation.
