Flight cancelled yesterday and now I'm sitting at the airport again. At least this time I was actually upgraded to first class. Thanks job and giving me tons of free miles to upgrade to Gold Frequent Flyer Status!

Just my luck. 16 first class seats from Charlotte to seattle (6hr flight). 14 are checked in. I'm number 3 on the wait list for upgrade. :(

Want to avoid PITA travelers & their kids. Slap a N95 on in the waiting area ;) Window seat !

Belly, I didn't know that you were so close to the fire. I was over on the far East edge of town then, and I remember the smoke and bits of ash that were falling on our house. Our dog wouldn't go outside to go to the bathroom because the smoke was so bad..

I was actually deployed at the time. I had to watch Mrs. Belly and Didi evacuate on teh local news that I was able to stream. I almost freaked out when the news is talking about people evacuating and then in teh background I see my wife's (very distinctively bright yellow) Jeep drive past. The part that freaked me out was that she didn't have the trailer, nor did the Jeep look laden down (sagging in the back). That means she was gone in a hurry.

I've been there and still gotten in. Sometimes connecting flyers don't make it.

Hell, I've been pulled out of the back after already seated.

Watch the app/board. It never hurts to ask a gate agent as long as they're not looking busy. They may know a connecting flight passenger is unlikely to make it.
