TravelDelay

I work at a sit down restaurant in a major Florida airport. With all the storms up north causing cancellations and delays, people have been getting really unhinged. I get it. You’re stressed about getting home, work, or your vacation. Travel is rough right now. But I’m not...

After my Dec 21 rant about being four hours late on the Floridian 40, I’ve got to say… I may have overreacted a bit. The delays were annoying, but seeing DC lit up at night actually turned out to be pretty great. Turns out the train had a mechanical issue near Columbia, SC, and...

This is exactly the kind of situation where the FHR credit actually shines. Weather chaos, stuck overnight, needing real WiFi and late checkout, not just a crash pad by the airport. That flexibility is what makes the benefit worth having. Getting a Midtown hotel, room service,...

NYC–Bogota–Pereira roundtrip and it was honestly one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. Even before the trip started they “canceled” my first flight and moved me a full day later, even though my friend still flew the original flight. Classic overbooking dodge. You...

Had a ride where the departure time randomly shifted from 14:05 to 13:50 during the trip, and the driver didn’t even wait at the stop until the original time. They just left early even though people were supposed to board there. Is this normal for FlixBus? Because… what is that?

Had a ticket for the 4:30pm Amtrak bus today. I got to the station at 4:15 and was told it already left at 4. Even if I’d shown up right on time, I still would’ve missed it. Amtrak rebooked me for tomorrow, but that’s the only bus out of here each day. Now I’m stuck overnight...

Currently connecting through Chicago and we’ve been sitting here for almost an hour just waiting to taxi to a gate. I even planned a 1h45 layover knowing how ORD can be. Only upside, my next flight to LAX is also stuck waiting for its gate. Small victories.

Flew SWA three times this past month and boarding feels slower every trip. Way more people hauling on big carry-ons, even older folks who struggle with them. Last flight, gate agents were begging for 30 volunteers to check bags, which just slowed everything down more. Between...

Took the 6:15 PM Amtrak Cascades from Portland to Seattle last week supposed to arrive 9:15, we didn’t get in until 2:30 AM. About an hour into the trip we got stuck behind a disabled train that Amtrak already knew about. Instead of offloading passengers right away, they spent 4...

I was in Phoenix when that intense monsoon swept through dust storm, thunder, flight delays, power outages, the whole deal. Sky Harbor even went into ground stop mode with delays stretching past an hour and a couple of flights canceled or diverted. I was near Mesa when the skies...
