re: So im fired up right now. Need advice

Just chill. shite happens. Last time it happened to me though Alaska Air put us on another plane, we arrived on time. Sometimes you just gotta be appreciative they arent putting you on a broken plane.

I had a flight cancelled from Houston to Baton Rouge late one night.
They said due to Weather, but other flights were rolling.
Truth was that there were only 4 of us on that flight, so they decided to save money and toss our arse on the next morning flight.

It's depressing, isn't it? Wealthy people ain't gotta put up with that shite.

All airplanes break at some point. I've had to cancel, delay, and divert trips for charter trips and for my bosses.

High five.

I mean you can try to get your money back. I guess it wouldn't work, but I promise you that you won't. That's just the risk of airplane tickets. Just get really drunk, and start your trip at the airport. Make the best of it and don't let this ruin your day.

If it was mechanical they should have given you vouchers for a meal at the least. Not sure about anything else but write them an email and see what u get. I got $100 voucher because the entertainment system failed on a flight between HNL and LAX earlier this year

Find someone at the desk and tell them to refund your flight. Anything over 2 hrs is pretty much cancellable. Its called a trip in vain.

Eta: I'm assuming you're not flying out of new orleans because all of americans flights to mia/clt/dfw have left this morning

Southwest gave me a $200 voucher last year when they cancelled one of my flights last year due to a non weather event, I was using them weakly at the time though. I'd have a non confrontational conversation with the agent at the ticket counter to see what they'll do for you, flying commercial is awesome until it isn't.

in my experience, delays of that length are pretty common when using air travel...and I avoid air travel anytime I can for that very reason.

fact is, there is nothing that you can do about it, so just relax and go with the flow...they will get you there by the end of the day. when you look at it realistically, air travel sucks balls, but there is no faster way to get somewhere.

now, just go and find yourself a place to relax and don't let this ruin your vacation before it even gets started.


ETA: remember, you'll be in Florida tomorrow...the rest of us will be sitting home.
