I started traveling again for business. To be honest, the airports are moving us along a little quicker than when we started flying after the incidents in September of 2001.
But this first weekend in September of 2022 was memorable, to say the least.
Here's my timeline:
On 9/8, at 5:29 AM, I checked in for my flight 2748 (5:29 AM)
I packed and went to bed early because I had an early flight, the airline started sending emails to my work email address. Twice at 1:46, and again at 1:53 they sent me an email that my flight to DFW was delayed. Obviously since I'd packed up my computer, I missed these emails and got up at 2:00 AM. By 2:15 I was up, dressed, and ready to go.
At 2:22 I received a text from a co-worker that our flight was delayed. Needless to say, I got my computer out and found out they'd rebooked me on a flight that would arrive after my connecting flight departed, so I had to call the airline. Here's the way the rest of the day went:
- 2:32 AM: rebooked flight from SEA to DFW flight 2511 (8:55 AM)
- 2:38 AM: AA call 24 minutes 17 seconds
- 2:49 AM: Airline schedule change (BCD)

- 5:43 PM: DFW: Gate C30 Flight 2901 on the plane, waiting for a part!
