Delayed Flight

by Gary on June 28, 2013

I was supposed to leave Bogotá this morning at 9:30. When I got to the airport they kept postponing it. The latest postponement is 10 tonight. Will it be 10 or will they cancel the flight? I also have a headache with no place to get some ibuprofen. I have some but it’s in my bag, which Delta has.

Thanks for your prayers.

So apparently by 8 they knew they weren’t going to be able to take off, but they didn’t tell anyone until 11:30. So I just got back to the hotel for the third time today (actually the first time today, and twice yesterday). Got to my room at 1:30. They’ve given me the same room every time.

I had asked for my luggage which I had checked. As I was leaving the airport they said it would only take two hours to get there, as if that were a good thing. So if I’m able to get to sleep, they will wake me up with my luggage, which I was hoping to have before I went to sleep.

People were very angry tonight when they announced the flight was cancelled. there were families with small children who have been up since 5 Friday morning. Not fun!

We’re supposed to leave tomorrow morning at 11, but I’m pretty sure that’s just a guess on their part. I don’t know why they don’t just bring another plane and be done with it.

I’m so sorry this happened! I will pray you make it out today. I don’t understand why airlines are so insensitive about making people wait around!

Wow! I’m praying, Dad. That has got to be so frustrating!

I’m so sorry you had to go through that! I’m glad you are home and without the swine flu.
