They already rerouted me once to the best of the worse. Buying another ticket won’t make any difference because the delays are weather related.

Didn’t travel and worked from home.

At that point they won’t reroute you and you can’t buy another ticket? Seems silly

I’ve had 2 days due to polar vortex (UK–US) and 3 days due to volcano eruption (within Asia). In both cases I shrugged and happily extended my vacations. I’ve also had some fairly... creative reroutes (DFW-PHX-BOS-LGA anyone?) that I’ve turned down in favor of spending a night in an airport hotel.

Beat it! Made it 12 hrs! Was suppose to arrive at 10am but instead it was 10pm.

Some days I feel like I’ll never be able to find love because I come from a complicated childhood, have a lot of problems and, I want someone who would understand me.

I feel like a nuisance
