First world problems, I know...
coming back from St Thomas our flight was to leave at 1:08 and get into Philly. One hour layover and then land in Indy at 8:15p.
we got to the airport and found out we’re delayed 45 mins in STT and gonna be tight making our connection, but an 8pm flight to Indy exists so we’ll just try and take next flight if we don’t make it. Need to be home tomorrow.
30 mins after we checked in at ticket counter I get an email from AA that they declared us to have missed our connection and they rebooked us on a 3PM fight out of STT.... TOMORROW! Nope. Not gonna work.
i call airline since no one at the gate desk yet. They got us rebooked onto the 8p flight out of philly but told me to recheck at the gate for boarding pass since we were taken off the flight already. Ok... so I get new tickets and hear one flight to philly is stopping in Miami before heading to Philly to change crews and “let the engines warm up”. She told the guy since it’s cold in philly and icing they have to stop in Miami to change crews and let the engine warm up before flying back to a cold area. After leaving St Thomas
anyway, I hope we’re getting home and without renting a car to drive straight through...
lesson: when leaving islands plan to get home a day early
