I was just going to post that myself. That must be about the worst thing for Mrs Who right now :eek: Hope its just a small blip in the road and she gets rerouted but I seem to remember she had a quick turnaround in Chicago.

OH says it must be weather related. So that means it probably is affecting a lot of other flights too. Hopefully, she will be rerouted or at least get another flight later. How disappointing...
Weather - its been a balmy and sunny, bright blue skies, 17 C in Yorkshire or so I am told! Anyway, a day's delay in Chicago might be fun :) |

I think this is the answer:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...,7576679.story AA has grounded all flights and BA5724 was an AA flight. Poor MRs W. :( |

Oh c**p!!! I am hoping for the best in thinking that she is already on an alternative flight, so that's why she's not checking in with us right now :)

:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed: for that to have happened. Otherwise she is likely 'crying a river' at Phoenix airport in some bar right now.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
Greetings from sunny Arizona. roflmao. Okay, I know I am laughing, but inside I'm screaming at the top of my voice. It seems like you guys found out about the cancellation before I did..:rofl::rofl:
I got to Phoenix Sky Harbour, only to find a humungous line at the AA desk and staff walking around saying all flights had been cancelled because their computers were down, and had been for 2 hours, so they couldn't check anyone in. :( The staff were poorly organised and so unsympathetic, but I knew I'd get arrested if I hit one of them. :rofl: I'd asked one lady staff member about my flight and explained about the international connection, but she just said (these are her exact words)" All flights have been cancelled, so I guess you're going to miss ALL your flghts" They weren't offering to try to reschedule any of the other passengers onto later flights, in fact they were just telling everyone to go home and call a 1800 number. But being the type of person I am, I wasn't going to just sit there. So I got on the phone immediately with BA, explained the situation and asked if they could help me. No problem the man said, as it was an airline issue he'd rebook me on the next available flights all the way to Manchester. Sooooooo, to cut a long story short I'm rescheduled on a BA flight for later tonight direct to London, a 3hr layover in London and then on to Manchester. Flight numbers are as follows: BA0288 Departs Phoenix 7.25pm Arrives London 1.10pm Wednesday 17th BA1396 Departs London 3.45pm Arrives Manchester 4.45pm Wednesday So I arrive about 5 hours later than expected ! Oh honestly, I could just SCREAM ! :rofl: So it's now 2.30pm PHX time, so we came home so I could go online and let folks know (especially the B&B who are expecting me just after noon.. lol) The good part is I've been able to check in online and print my boarding passes, so I still managed to get window seats and it's a better flight being direct to London. Now I just have to get BA to refund the money I'd paid for selecting those window seats on the other itinerary.. LOL So there you have it ! That's how my day has been going so far? How's yours? :rofl::rofl: It was so lovely to see everyone had been thinking about me and trying to follow my flight. :):thumbsup: |

I just logged on to see how things were going, no I find out she's stuck.. Hope it all gets sorted soon, at least when she does get here and looks at the thread she will know we have been thinking of her..
Thanks to everyone for thinking about me. I must admit that coming onto BE and seeing the messages has made my day much better ! :) :thumbsup: That and being able to reschedule helped too. :rofl::rofl: |

OH THANK GOD!!!:thumbsup:
I don't think it will be dark at 4.45pm Manchester time by the time I get there, but there goes the plans to walk down to the chippy.. LOL I think by the time I've got my luggage and grabbed a taxi, it will probably be close to 6pm by the time I get to the B&B. I guess I can't complain, at least BA were able to help me and could reschedule me without a problem. :) So once again......I'm off ! :rofl: See you on the flip side :D |
