So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

If man was meant to fly... robots would have wings.
Wait... some do. never mind.

Places I am right now:

• Cleveland, Ohio

My flight leaving Boston at 6:07 got delayed an hour, but supposedly my connecting flight was delayed an hour too. It turns out they changed their mind and un-delayed my connection while I was in the air. I'm arriving at ATL 9:23am tomorrow, so I'll still be there for most of tomorrow!

And all I got was a $49 Ramada room.

After watching the weather forecast, I don't think our weather and snow travel woes are over yet. According to the latest forecast I saw today, on Sunday/Monday, a huge Nor'easter with up to Category 3 hurricane-force winds is expected to hit the Northeast, bringing extreme rain, wind, ice, and you guessed it, even more snow.

Yeah I have the weather on in my hotel room now... and it looks like it's gonna be pretty messy down here as well. I hope people going back up to the North brought some extra clothes

It wasn't a flight delay, but we did have bus problems. We left at 6PM on Wednesday. At 1 AM Thursday, our bus broke down. It wasn't until 4 AM that they decided to get us another bus. We made it there at 10 on Thursday. Then we found out that team 177 was caught up at an airport. I was definitly glad that some teams helped out 177 with driving their robot for the day. Good Job you guys.

And people wonder why... I drive myself when I go somewhere.

the west coast only 64 hrs away

Just heard from a team member in Atlanta, the flight is cancelled and the earliest they might get out is Tuesday...

They tried to get a bus- all are already taken. I suggested Amtrak. A charter plane (for 50!) is just not in the budget.

103's flight was cancelled late last night/early this morning. The earliest we can get a flight together is the 6.30am to Philly on Tuesday morning... so, we're all preparing for the extra days. Team 25 was sitting on their plane not too long ago after a delay, same with our mentors. Good luck to all those who are still traveling and have delays.

I don't know how, but our person who deals with travel somehow got us a flight from Georgia to Boston at 7a.m. instead of 6p.m. because of the expected weather. No extra cost, the change happened at 9:30 at night, and we avoided cancellations due to weather.

Our flight was half an hour delayed, but arrived in Philly on time... turbulance was crazy.

Our mentor, Mr. Kressly, however, did not fair quite as well as we did in terms of flights. He booked his flight through FIRST because he's a senior mentor, and took US Air instead of Delta with us. His flight was cancelled.

... or maybe he just wanted one day of his life without a bunch of overzealous, caffeine-laden teens who wanted to change the world asking him questions

Currently, I'm scheduled to fly out tomorrow (Monday) morning. No Ira, you're not allowed to teach my classes.

Our flight was supposed to leave Atlanta at around 7pm. We left at about 9:30. The plane had a leak in the roof that was near some electronics, so we had to change planes and all the baggage had to be moved and we waited a long time. The pilot and attendants were very nice, though, and we still had a good time.

Perhaps it's a US Air thingie....

I'm stuck here in Atlanta, too. I was supposed to leave Sunday AM, but was cancelled and am now scheduled to leave Monday around noon. I'm busy coming up with things to do all day and evening Monday, just in case I don't get out on Monday. If I plan really good stuff to do, I may leave Atlanta according to schedule. (You know that thing about the best laid plans...) I'm trying to come up with a win-win situation.

Where are those 103 people now? At home, in the air, or in Atlanta?

From what I have heard, they, like 1676, probably will have to stay in Atlanta until at least Tuesday.

We were lucky enough to only have about an hour delay for our flight back, and we had no problems getting there.

1991's ASD students are stranded in ATL due to Chicago traffic... lucky we were able to get flights for tomorrow.
