Cancelled Flights

I have been on tons of airplanes in my life.  In my flight lifetime I have never had a cancelled flight.

This last trip.....we had two.

On the way to Texas we had to get up by 4 to get to LAX.  That flight was late so we hurried and tried to catch our connection in Dallas.  We get there and it's delayed.  They said the mechanics were looking at it.  Shortly after we hear an announcement saying the mechanics put the plane out of order and were trying to find a new plane.  They never did.  So my first cancelled flight was born.  We waited in the line to rebook our flight to Corpus.  The only thing they had was a flight at 8 that night.  So our 6 hour airport marathon started.  Actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  It was sucky, but it could have been worse.  Hailey got a nice nap out of it though haha.

 

Once we got there they lost everyone's bags and we had to wait one by one to explain our bags so they could bring them too us.  Another fail on American Airlines part.

 

Then after a great week in Texas it was time to head home.

Our flight to Houston went smooth then we rush to get to our connection there (because these Texas airports are huge! haha).  Matt took a while because he escorted this blind man to his gate because he was having trouble.

Austin and I arrive at the gate and I'm looking to see if they are boarding, and I see a big CANCELLED.  My heart sank.  So we stand there in another line to see what's going on.  This time I was afraid whatever they had arranged would be full or something because we came late to the show.

The choices we had once we got up there were either stay with our bags for the new flight they booked for everyone at 6AM the next day (this is at 9 at night and they weren't even offering to put people up) or have our bags delivered to us the next day and catch the flight that was leaving right then to the Orange County airport.  So that's what we did.  No way were we spending the night at the airport.  We had extras of almost everything at home anyway.  Makes me wonder how empty that flight was because so many of the people from our flight ended up on it.

So we actually ended up home a little earlier because we caught the OC flight.  But then we had to wait in a line with everyone to get our bags delivered the next day.....which didn't show up until about 6PM...our car seat until about 9PM.

So yea.....two cancelled flights in one trip, it was very interesting to say the least.

And for the last flight over two weeks, we just sent Austin home.  Hailey was very sad.

And now it's July!

Weird........
