skybytch 273 #1 April 12, 2008 We weren't flying American. We shouldn't have had an issue. But no.... Went to check in at 3 pm yesterday for a 4:10 pm flight on US Air. Plane was an hour late, we were gonna miss our connection, and the only other plane going to from PHX to Flagstaff was sold out. So we landed in PHX and rented a car. Instead of arriving at the motel at about 8:30 pm, we got here at midnight. I felt really bad for some of the other people on the plane. One lady was trying to get back to Dallas and was told that she wasn't going to get there until Saturday evening. Another lady was trying to get to a wedding (that she was in) and was told that they could get here there an hour after the wedding starts. I'm wondering now if I'm gonna get home tomorrow evening or not... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #4 April 12, 2008 Makes me glad I don't fly but once a year average these days. So far, so good, I've never had a really bad delay because of mechanical or technical stuff, just a couple times for weather."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denete 3 #5 April 12, 2008 I fly back to Atlanta tomorrow night, things should be peachy.

skybytch 273 #8 April 13, 2008 Amazingly enough, it did. Was already outside the terminal waiting for my ride home when the plane was supposed to be arriving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
