DFW Flight Cancellations
I had an exciting 24+ hours as I was stranded in Dallas-Fort Worth from Wednesday evening through Thursday evening. My Wednesday evening flight to Wichita was canceled, so I tried to schedule a flight the next morning into OKC (my family was going to be there for a funeral). That flight was canceled, so American Airlines scheduled me for a morning flight into Wichita. That flight was canceled, so they scheduled me for a noon flight into Wichita. That flight was canceled, so they scheduled me for a 5:30 pm flight into Wichita. I also managed to get on standby for the 4:40 pm OKC flight, which I finally took (we left closer to 6 pm and landed about 6:30 pm). Mom and Lydia picked me up from the OKC airport, and we finally made it to Wichita sometime after midnight.Here is a story about the flight delays and cancellations. This was the first time I experienced any major disruptions to my travel plans due to flight problems. I will say that I was not altogether pleased by how American Airlines handled the problems (for example, items inside my checked bag were drenched when I finally got it back from the Wichita airport, among other problems). But I appreciated the efforts of many of the over-stressed personnel who were trying to do their best in the midst of a difficult situation. Overall, however, the experience was a good patience-builder and learning experience. A big "Thanks!" to the Reins family for rescuing me from the airport Wednesday night, feeding me some great food, and taking me back Thursday morning to DFW.
