So, what difference does snow in New Jersey have to do with my daughter's trip from Lafayette Indiana to go to her cousin's wedding tomorrow afternoon in the South Seattle area?Plenty.
Because in these hub days and her choice to fly from Indianapolis (the closest airport). Yeah, through Newark. Which is not exactly on the way, you know? The flight got cancelled and likely her second flight to Seattle got cancelled and, because it's the first day of spring break for Purdue, there wasn't any flights with seats going out of Indianapolis to anywhere. Nobody without a confirmed seat was getting out of Indianapolis nowhere no how.
Many phone calls and visits through the United Airlines problem line (ever been in one of those, no fun and really unhappy people, it's not a warm and fuzzy place. They must have special people who can do that duty) yields nothing. The refunds people have put forth some possible routes if she's willing to leave from O'Hare in Chicago. Which could still possibly happen.
It's snowing in Newark, what are you gonna do?
Myself, I HATE traveling in airplanes way WAY out of my way. Who wants to go 1000 miles the wrong way?? That's how it is, you have to go to the east coast often to get to the Midwest.
Even recently, we were at Logan in Boston, on our way home. They announce a non-stop to Seattle. I'm thinking, there's a non-stop to Seattle? why the heck am *I* going to Atlanta first??? hmmm?
This can't be good for the environment.
I'm a sucker for the non-stop.
