[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you travel often enough, you learn that when they are cancellations you need to pivot and pivot quickly before your best options disappear. People are wasting too much time Hoping for a convenient nonstop flight home. Move on from that dream.[/quote]

This![/quote]

Oh but dahling…that only leaves you exposed to more cancellations, over booked flights, time outs.

The best option is to get on the app and rebook as soon as you know you’re going to miss your connection.

I’m stuck in Dallas and I’m jumping from one flight to the next. You can only get on one standby at a time.

Did you know Einstein Bagels are not good when they’re stale?[/quote]

I would just rebook for several days into the future and go chill at a hotel. How long do you plan to torture yourself at the airport?[/quote]

How lovely that you can are willing to spend a few days in a filthy dump of an airport hotel.

Some people are not lazy and have a life. [/quote]

Some people are flexible under suboptimal conditions and are not spoiled princesses like you are.[/quote]

When I was 25 and single I could be “flexible.”

Now? With a toddler and pregnant wife who can’t stand for long periods of time, my life is different and a lot less flexible.

Older individuals and those with disabilities have limited “flexibility.” Lower income people who rarely fly to see beloved family members can’t afford to be “flexible” when they get stranded by an airline.

Southwest has a serious responsibility: to honor their promises and to do so safely. They failed and there should be consequences, the first of which should be the replacement of the executive team. [/quote]

What promise did they make?  Pretty much every airline has disclaimer about anything related to on time arrivals and departure (outside of what FAA mandates in certain situations).

I understand that low income people don’t have the flexibility when something like this happens.  But part of budgeting for travel, especially flying is having an emergency fund or a reliable way to access funds in an emergency.

And again,  the storm was not a surprise unless you were literally living under a rock.
