[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I haven’t heard of anyone being stranded who has funds for a solution. All the posts instead are about how to be reimbursed. People with money have options. You can Uber offsite to a place that still has rental cars or a hotel further away from the airport.[/quote]

That's not going to work if you are hoping to get on another flight on standby.  You need to be near the airport, or at the airport.[/quote]

But southwest is flat out telling people not to expect flights for days. Sitting at the airport seems futile.

Is anyone else picturing a bunch of frazzled SW employees with pencils and erasers in a conference room trying to reroute planes and crew by hand? I’m chuckling to myself.[/quote]

It seems futile now. Up until yesterday afternoon, being at the airport was the only way to possibly get on a flight since the phone systems were basically inaccessible. If you saw some planes going out, it seemed possible you could make it onto a flight.

Have a friend who was at San Diego airport for 8 hours on Sunday, eventually got onto one of the 3 flights that wasn't cancelled to her destination. [/quote]
