Stranded At Home

I managed to be stranded at home today.

I was flying from Boston to Northwest Arkansas today on American Airlines. I had a layover in
Chicago. The flight from Chicago was canceled, so I requested that they fly me through Dallas or Cincinnati. Unfortunately, there were no flights through those cities. They put me on a Northwest flight to Minneapolis so I could catch a connecting flight.

The NWA flight was delayed due to weather in Boston and they flew the longest path possible into Minneapolis. I ended up spending three and a quarter hours in the air. I missed the connection to Northwest Arkansas, which remarkably found a way to take off on time despite the hail and thunderstorms.

The next flight is at 9:30 PM, and there were no seats on any other flights connecting through Memphis. I’ll be working from home for a day! What a strange way to start off the week.

P.S., ROWTR was the best 10 bucks I have ever spent. I keep finding myself looking for airline and rental car numbers. It is so handy to have them in a single place!
