MSY Thursday Evening

Have a 17:00 departure out of MSY Thursday. Flying to SEA direct on Alaska. What are the odds this flight happens.
Only alternative (Hail Mary) is the 18:11 Through DFW on AA Trying to make my best friends wedding Friday.

Is Seattle allowing weddings?

I'll try and help you out here especially since you're trying to come up this way and I'm taking this flight in two weeks 
.
Two things: Models can change pretty quickly so now is the time to start watching. I saw the 00z GFS forecast last night with a hurricane showing up in the gulf labor day weekend, but it's like 300 hours out and unreliable.
6pm Wednesday model
Midnight/Thursday am
Thursday 6pm
So based on that, it looks like the weather will be fine on Thursday itself. Problem is how bad does it get on Wednesday (power out, trees down, etc.).
For now, I'd stay put with the direct. Your inbound flight will leave from Seattle around 9am on Thursday/ 11am Central so Alaska should make the call on Thursday morning. Only problem I have is I don't know how quick Alaska is to cancel versus the other airlines like American/United/Delta. Delta doesn't cancel, AA loves to cancel, and United's in the middle.

Thank you for the detail you put into that. The irony here is in EXP with AA and if not for corona I would be on the 1810 MSY-DFW flight.
My worry about Alaska is having a crew in NOLA should the flight from SEA go.

Update- Flight was cancelled. My guess is because there is only one flight daily there was a crew issue because a lot of other flights still see to be operating.
I booked with DL out of GPT in the AM.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Weird enough they operated the flight today! Yeah east is safer in gulfport, safe travels up here tomorrow. 70s/50s and sun for the next 10 days

I used to be Diamond with Delta. Have been EXP for years now with AA. Gambled with Alaska now they are OneWorld.
I had random skymiles I used. I actually get the A350 back, excited about that.
Are you in SEA? We will be at Crystal Mountain in Enumclaw, WA

I'm sure any other day you would've been fine on alaska, eh it is what it is. Is it an A350 or the A330? I was looking at Sea-Atl-Msy but it was a lot longer than going through salt lake.
I'm in the SEA area, haven't been to crystal but will try during ski season. Doing some hiking on Rainier?

Cuse I’m supposed to fly into BR tomorrow afternoon. Even a slight chance of that happening?
Posted on 8/26/20 at 8:29 pm to AbitaFan08
Where are you connecting? DFW, IAH, ATL, or CLT?
Winds tomorrow afternoon are sustained 20mph until about 2pm, gusts are probably higher. Tomorrow night looks better but not sure if the airlines will just cancel everything. Charlotte and Dallas operated tonight (American), but not Atlanta (Delta) or Houston (United).
American operated their flights and then flew the aircraft right out tonight

Not this trip. Just the wedding. I’ve been to Seattle quite a few times (I work for a particular company in the area).
I’m on the 350. It had a big “flagship” banner. Excited about that. I fly the 787 frequently from MSY-LHR on BA. I used to do the A330 from CLT-LHR but the plane is quite old now.
After the wedding Friday we are driving back to Seattle to go to Growlerz

Ah sweet, let me know the next time you're out this way and I'll be down to grab a beer 
.
I haven't heard of Growlerz, looked it up and saw that it's a dog daycare center/dog park with a taproom
