Oh the panic. 😉 Back home, those levels of 'wind chills' in January are called 'a January Thaw' (the previous Farmer's Almanac 'nickname' is now gone as no longer PC). 🤫 From local Miami forecast. It's going to be brutal. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really just having fun. No intent otherwise. Yes, we too laugh (sarcastic, humorous like society was pre-PC) down here in the winter versus back home in the north when we see the reaction to anything less than sunshine, heat and humidity. It's fun. Also, just referring to south Florida. Florida is so darn 'big' (geographically) by our standards - north to south and east to west. The weather is as disparate above south Florida (which was my Miami weather reference regarding the Port of Miami re: the OP's departure) (i.e., also home, only in 'winter' season) as it is below upper New England (i.e., home, now only in the opposite 'summer' season). Again, no offense intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted January 28, 2022 #104 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Saw up to 2000 flight cancellations into/out of and in the country already tomorrow. "Boston's Logan airport, which is a hub city for JetBlue and Delta Air Lines (DAL), has 257 cancellations. For Saturday, JetBlue (JBLU) has axed 50% of its schedule. About 13% of American's schedule and 12% of United's (UAL) schedule for Saturday has also been canceled." Glad you're getting out today! My sis in Boston is actually looking forward to 2+ feet of snow. But she won't have to go anywhere this weekend and lives in apartment with underground parking.

Rare BennyBrun Posted January 28, 2022 #105 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The cancellation started in NYC/NJ area. Delta direct flights to FLL/MIA all cancelled for 1/29. Very very very few options left for 1/30 departure that will meet the ship on time flying on Delta in the NYC/NJ area… the hoops we jump through to get on a cruise ship! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cancellation numbers are increasing for tomorrow, including the 5:30am flight that the OP had switched to. Hope he gets out today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP mentioned arriving in Charlotte around 9:30 pm. There is a Delta flight leaving Logan at 7:50pm which appears to be on time. Hope that is their flight and they at least arrive in Charlotte tonight. Looking at departures, there are a ton of canceled and delayed flights.

Jimbo Posted January 29, 2022 #111 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I'm in Virginia, we only got about 2 to3 inches of snow here in Southwest Virginia. Stopping probably around 10pm for us. Charlotte has rain right now there will be a change over around 10pm so they should be able to get out, total for Charlotte is only up to 2 inches of snow, so they should be fine.

Rare BennyBrun Posted January 29, 2022 #113 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Not the OP but was scheduled to leave NYC area on 1/30 to MIA but all the morning flights were canceled for 1/30 and all day 1/29. Luckily I was on top of the situation and rebooked (not by phone) at the airport that’s semi close to drive to and caught the last flight that was not cancelled to ATL on Friday night. Now just have to rebook the FL portion at ATL. Stay tuned… it’s going to be an adventure! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last resort, if you cannot get a flight, maybe you could rent a car and drive.we are in NE Ohio and decided rather than fly to FLL, we would drive. Don't have to depend on the planes/pilots/weather to get there. We are leaving 5 days before our cruise, and if severe winter weather to forecast, we can leave sooner. Will stay with family once we arrive in Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted January 29, 2022 #119 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Once you are out of the NE/E region and down to Atlanta it’s much easier in terms of finding flight availability. Getting assistance from the airline that’s a different story. All the car rental at ATL is not allowing one way rental because they don’t want their cars to be all driven out. After spending the night at the airport we are rebooked a noon flight. We had PLENTY of company. This was the line this morning at 4:30AM. This is nothing compared to last night earlier this morning! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasukkie Posted January 29, 2022 #121 Share Posted January 29, 2022 So happy for you cruisetorelax! I usually go ahead and just buy a new seat rather than wait in those lines and have the seat availability disappear. It depends on the airline, some can have reasonable last minute flights (not Delta). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
