June 11, 2009

Intentions were good: Turtle and Navigator spent a nervous day trying to make sure everything was packed.

Flights were bad: Throughout the day flights seemed to get fuller and fuller. With fingers crossed our destination changed from Hartford, CT to White Plains, NY.

The grim reality: Upon checking in we found out our intended flight was delayed. We got to the gate, sat down to do the obligatory watching of the screen. (Delta has monitors which provide information like Upgrade List, Standby List, Cleared List and other information.) To our disappointment the screen flashed “FLIGHT CANCELLED” about 30 minutes prior to our departure time. One would think that if the flight was cancelled than luggage could be retrieved; however, this was not true. Delta rerouted the luggage so it would to through Michigan to White Plains and arrive by midnight. With trepidation we went home with the hope that we could get a flight the next morning.
