Still coming

[kingandy]

I am still in Newark!

Apparently in the United States they have not heard of this thing called "rain" so when it comes they start cancelling their airplanes on account of slippery runways or something. My plane to Nawlins was the last one of the evening, so my 6 hour stopover has turned into something like 18. Possibly more.

The actual best case scenario at this point is that I get into Nawlins at 2pm, 23 hours before I have to be back at the airport to go home.

I AM REALLY HAPPY!

Andy, apparently no one had heard this development in your schedule because Leet posted on MoM very worried that they found out your flight was cancelled and were apparently unable to page you in Newark to find out what was up, so I called them and told them about this entry.

I don't know what your options are but it might be possible to fly from Newark to another major city to catch a connecting flight to New Orleans earlier than that time. The airlines are supposed to be accomodating especially to hawt British travellers like yourself, so perhaps that is something that might work?

Thank Christ for you. I was going to post on the MoM but apparently the pay internet terminals here have decided the entire site is unsuitable.

The guy at the airline did check all possible connecting flights but they were all booked up - I'm currently booked on a flight direct to Nawlins at 11:00 or so, getting in around 2PM. I'm going to try to squeeze onto the 7:05 one though. Fingers crossed.

If you have contact details for them, this would be the place to post them .

Those are all cell phones. If you need to call collect to someone you can call me collect at a landline 1-630-690-1253 although I will be out much of the day.Leet is the person I called.

Correction, updates

obtuse here. If you're seeing this you must be delayed beyond belief. The number kes gave for leet was actually for me.

We've been working at completely opposite angles, unfortunately. I had been posting on the MoM and was unable to get through to Newark's overhead announcement service last night. Somehow it never occurred to me to check your livejournal.

Anyways, I'm current working under the assumption that you're on the afternoon flight and are keeping tabs on Continental's website.

Stay safe Andy

And if I remember correctly Newark is a very boring airport. I had exactly the same experience 7 years ago on my way to flight school.
