So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

Eh?

Our flights getting to Atlanta were canceled because all traffic has been shut down at the Chicago Airport. We're working on rescheduling for the morning or switching airlines, but eh, its not looking good for us right now.

Anyone in NE have a jet to loan us? (Dean? UTC? Pratt?)

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

Yeah, six of us (four students, two parents) are stuck in WI; 3 of us are coming down tonight (if the flight's not cancelled) and the rest are flying down tomorrow.

Also, best of luck getting out of here to NEW Apple Corps - their entire team is stranded in Milwaukee right now...

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

I just had the flight I was going to book with FF miles for my study abroad trip this summer disappear from the FF available flights. :-/

Oh, we are talking about flights to Atlanta here...

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

If you show up late on Thursday and need help with your bots, ask for "Michael Baker" or "Baker" from 675. I'm a scout, though, so I might be hard to locate.

I'll see about having bright pink duct tape on my shoulders (since it'd be an identifiable factor).

I am stuck in St. Louis until the morning, 269 made it down finally at 8PM Eastern, ran to the dome and uncrated the bot in about 4 minutes at 8:55PM.

All of our engineers are making it down fine, as well as ONE team member (fortunately, the base driver). The rest of us won't be there until at least 4PM on Thursday however.

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

Our hotel-mates, 107, had their flight cancelled today and was taxi'd over to Detroit from Grand Rapids. They showed up around 9:00.

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

I'm flying into ATL from BOS tomorrow evening. We're supposed to get a good amount of rain, sleet and snow, so here's hoping I can make my flight!

Best wishes to everyone caught in the weather and stay safe!

Re: So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

We took a 12 hour bus ride from Ann Arbor Michigan today.

It rained 95% of the time there... sheesh. At least the temperatures are nicer down here.

Good luck to everyone in getting here!

When are you flying out? My flight leaves at 6:07pm, and I'm worried about the weather. Traveling to the airport in slush during rush hour ought to be an adventure in itself, and I want to make sure I have all my bases covered unless I need to switch flights or something.

I should pack.

Flight's at 7:30 on Delta, I'm hoping to get to the airport at 5:30. We'll see how it goes
