Waiting for a frontier waiver

They should post one soon!

quote:

Delta Airlines AMS->ATL->MEM on Saturday.

Change immediately when the waiver is up. You need to get in and out of ATL before Sat
quote:

Ya I'm not coming back early that's for sure

When United posts the waiver, change your flight to Monday for free. Don't take the first flight of the day because that's assuming the plane gets out of iah Sunday night. I think the 11am would leave Houston on Monday morning which is still iffy if it's not above freezing there until midday Monday

Schedule to fly from SLC to MSY on Saturday morning

Should be okay

quote:

LFT>IAH>ORD

Not good. That lft-iah will be one of the first to cancel. How badly do you need to be in Chicago? Saturday looks okay for IAH before Saturday night
Um...i'm going to take a guess you're not going to get in. International flights probably a better chance, but still...

Forecast for Houston, not even IAH, is AM ice. What airline are you on? Flexibility to change plans? Or are you okay getting stuck in PTY for an extra night?

If your plane is coming from Houston, decent shot it doesn't make it out on Sunday morning

That didnt take long to figure out you're on the 441pm getting into IAH at 810pm. That plane comes from houston and leaves at 10am. I'd highly recommend changing to a different flight if you can. If you want to get stuck in PTY, then you'll have a chance to change to a flight on Monday if you want. But still be cautious that it doesn't look like houston gets above freezing until Monday morning around 11am. Runways will need to thaw out
So surprisingly American airlines already posted a weather waiver where you can change for free to a different flight. If you're scheduled to fly this weekend, I'd head out early or change connecting airports to avoid ATL, DFW, IAH, BNA, DCA or CLT :cheers:
It's that time of the year again :cheers:. With a massive snow/ice/sleet/rain storm predicted for this weekend, suggestions would be to try and beat the storm before it's expected to pick up. Saturday and Sunday look nasty across the south so definitely try to avoid DFW, BNA, CLT, and ATL. As of Tuesday night at 830pm, American has their waiver up.

What’s up with this weird announcer feedback? It’s happened twice now

I switched to the skycast
The GFS looks like it but will let a professional chime in



Start with Google flights for seeing what airlines, prices, dates, times, etc then book direct with the airline

I generally do something similar with hotels dot com and then book direct with the hotel unless there's a huge difference in price between the two

You'll get a lot more help booking direct with airlines and hotels than a third party. Only exception would be a work trip and reaching out to amex travel for any issues

I did the Airplane trick and now miraculously my phone is working. Haven't had service all day

Mine was still showing SOS and just did this and bam, service again. Thanks!
I'm going to go try and watch the launch. I think it's scheduled for a Friday night currently

Went out about 30 minutes ago at home, still down
I'm just going to bump this thread instead of making a new one. Woke up yesterday morning with a dry cough, head congestion, chills, low grade fever, and muscle aches. Urgent care came back negative for flu a, b, and covid, but guessing that might have been because it was too quick to detect. Feels like the flu. Now today I can barely move from my bed with severe muscle fatigue in my legs. This is what I imagine runners feel like after running a marathon :lol:

Anyone else dealing with this shite? Likely caught this at work late last week with everyone coming back sick after new years.

Surprised to not see LAX, PHX or BOS on your AA connecting city list. I guess you can fly everywhere from DFW though...

Thanks for the comment about the link not working. I almost put both links in the original post because the first one showed as 'unsafe' and I'm wondering if that's why it wasn't populating. I added the other great circle mapper link and it looks like you got that to work. Pretty awesome list of destinations you had this year!

Concerts and music festivals seem to be your main travel factor? Any cool bands?

As we close out 2025, curious how your 2025 travels have gone? Did you go to any new destinations or stick with some similar spots? Pick up any new travel perks like hotel, rental car, airline status?

I know H20 usually posts one of these links below to show all of your flights from the last year.

I'm losing my Delta status in a few days, relatively slow year of flying for me. I've started flying direct on whatever airline offers a nonstop flight, been saving a ton of travel time. Here's to a travel filled 2026 :cheers:

Enterprise after they hounded me for a chip in a rental car's windshield for months. It was around $200 but they sent letters to my house, work, called daily, etc.
Headed to a lions fans house this afternoon to watch the game. Wondering if I should wear a purple and gold LSU polo just to trigger him a bit :lol:
