Today isn't looking any better for those flying Delta or United.

Eek, hope no one here is too affected by these cancellations. You're still looking good through Dallas today? I'll find out tomorrow how American and SEA are doing

Leaving for Dallas in a couple of hours and haven’t heard anything yet. Fingers crossed.

Looks like you made it in 15 minutes early.

With all the DL issues today I'm really happy I ended up not having to do an EOY mileage run.

Starting work at 1045am instead of 1045pm sounds like a win to me

My CLT-SEA is still on time tonight, but showing as Y0. The morning flight was also Y0 but just switched to Y5 for my guess a family misconnect. We'll see how oversold they are tonight, willing to volunteer for the right price

We made it, but not a single place was opened to eat. Not even in the airport. Ended up eating cheese crackers from the gas station for dinner.

After arriving at MIA at 12:30 am, we found out that our luggage had been checked through to San Pedro Sula, so we didn't have any of our stuff last night.

This morning, we arrived at MIA at 7:10 for our 9:25 flight and ended up having to run to our gate, because I had forgotten to fill out the Honduran health form and it was a huge pain to complete.

Sounds like you made it at least! Glad everything worked out last night to get to MIA given the flight cancellation

Seattle has gotten a ton of snow and is posting 4 hour inbound delays, but my flight is still showing as ontime this evening for CLT-SEA. Have seen diversions galore to Boise, Moses Lake, Pasco, Portland, and more. If we manage to take off on time and make it, I'll be amazed. Roadways look miserable on I-5 and I-405 so even if I land I need to make the usual 40 minute drive home on icy roads. Also found out they oversold economy but not first class so it's even, no bumps tonight.

ETA:Delayed an hour and 15 min, knew ontime was too good to be true

ETA 2: Landed back in Seattle to a winter wonderland. My normal drive took 68 minutes so nearly twice as long on ice/snow covered roads. They don't use salt out here so it's a giant pain in the arse when it snows as compared to the northeast.

Trip back from LAX to Buffalo was mostly good. We had major tailwind so the flight time was 3:40 instead of 4+ hours. Saw lots of delayed JetBlue flights at LAX, so I don't know what was going on.

The only thing they screwed up was my checked luggage. They never put my bag on the plane. It was eventually rerouted to JFK, but not until it was too late. So now someone gets to deliver my bag to me, which is 2.5 hours away from Buffalo.

I'm not surprised considering you landed late on Christmas Day.
