LOL A+++ My daughter landed from the west coast in DC last night. Her connecting flight was canceled and she was given a new one for Saturday night. She ended up renting a car to drive home and made it as far as Gettysburg last night. They are due here this morning. The annual flight home is becoming the trip from hell.
I haven't had a connecting flight canceled on my trips west -- YET -- but I have trouble with rental cars. The last time I flew into my home town (which requires a stop over in Phoenix) the plane was so late that there were no cars left. We arrived around midnight, all of the car rental places were closed, except ours, and they had no cars left because of some convention going on. We had to call my sister in law and beg to borrow her truck for a day until we got a car.
On the next trip we decided to fly directly to San Francisco, rent a car, and drive 200 miles south to the Valley. That time, our reserved car was also missing. Even though the "web" had said that the rental agency was in the airport, it was not. The shuttle was in the airport, and then you had to catch a bus to a remote lot 10 miles away. Naturally, there were no other car agencies in the vicinity, so we had to upgrade the car choice which doubled the price. Then they double charged us, and it was another cycle before we got our money back.
We are flying directly into our home town this time. Travel certainly isn't what it used to be!
I knew they wouldn’t get in until 1 or 2 am, based on when you told me they decided to drive, so its a good thing they stopped for the night. It will be 4 hours or so this AM, hopefully they’ll be there soon.
You gotta have your husband get flights that fly into Syracuse, not Binghamton, that’s the KEY to all of the flight cancellations, those flights cannot possibly be full. Like i said, i didn’t even know that Binghamton HAD an airport! there cannot be many flights in and out of there.
At least she was smart enough to stop and sleep - glad she will be home soon
