Flight to ATL canceled. Jumped on a 12:30am flight (~6 hrs from now). What do I do with my time? I don’t really want to drink plus I have all my bags with me... suggestions?

In PHX if that means anything

Recent campus hire without that stockpile, but yeah I could just watch Netflix and relax. Just really don’t want to be sitting, wanna be laying down. Thanks for the suggestions

No delta lounge in PHX, $40 to enter non airline specific lounge... worth?

D1- sending positive vibes your way

Can you leave airport ? If so head to Scottsdale for din

You'll at least be able to eat and drink, try it out if it's not too crowded.

Already ate, went a little to hard in Scottsdale last night to think about drinking now. Really just want a place to lay down. Could have gotten a hotel tonight but there are no flights out tomorrow, earliest from PHX to ATL is Sunday morn

Stay in Scottsdale for the weekend. Go hiking tomorrow. Be hung over at the pool at the W.

@D1 looks like the deciding factor will be how far inland the snow comes, where the cutoff between significant snow nearer the coast and little to none further west sets up will be critical. PHL does have a sizable deicing capacity though, but as usual the airlines will aim to operate larger jets and be more likely to cancel smaller ones. Where are you heading?

OP, it’s still snowing in Atl and I wouldn’t count on getting in late tonight. There’s a snow advisory until tomorrow morning. If I were you, I’d find a hotel and stay there for the weekend. Even if you do get to Atl, the roads are icy and getting around is virtually impossible
