We fortunately got to deplane. United has sent out updates every 30 minutes pushing the flight time back. Last update was 4:04p. MST

That's just plain (no pun intended) stupid. That's a 4 day drive unless you have enough drivers to go straight through

I can only imagine the hellscape of those poor souls stuck at major airports in this.

I’m in ATL, can confirm, it’s a hellscape.

Still well underneath 24 hours from kickoff.
This is similar to icing the kicker but for the team. I kinda like it, but sorry to everyone else.

I was stuck in the Dallas airport overnight once due to weather, top 10 worst experience of my life.

The Texas Longhorns football team has NOT left Austin and is NOT on its flight to Baton Rouge.They were supposed to take a charter flight out of Austin (Austin-Bergstrom) this afternoon, but a nationwide FAA ground stop (due to a temporary air traffic control communication issue) grounded the plane before it could depart.Latest updates (as of right now, Nov 13 2026):
The team boarded the plane but was held on the ground.
Players, coaches, and staff have deplaned and returned to the DKR practice facility/campus for normal meetings and team activities.
The plane is still sitting at the airport in Austin, waiting for the ground stop to be lifted (or possibly for them to bus the ~7-hour trip to Baton Rouge).

How bad is this going to jack up my Monday morning flight to Den?

I am thinking my trip may be canceled.

Nukes are still run on some ancient hardware, I believe.

2.5 day drive. Get to somewhere in Arizona today around 1. Leave at 7. Get to Fort Stockton Texas tomorrow night and role in to LA around 6 PM Sunday. Easily doable.

United's MO is to delay delay delay every 30 minutes until it's midnight and then finally send everyone home. They are the absolute worst with this. Delta meanwhile will make a decision and send everyone home as soon as they can. United would be the worst airline to be flying with today.

Best case scenario, this ground stop is lifted soon - it will still take HOURS for all of the airlines to play catchup. Flight crews will have hit their limit and have to be switched out. Hundreds of planes that were grounded will be trying to depart. If it were me, I'd go find a hotel,

I’m always here for the night haha. I guess my silver lining is I just go home . I’m sure there is a process for getting my checked bag back.

I need to get to DC by tomorrow morning but that will likely not be an option after the next update.
