I feel for you, that can be extremely frustrating.

I don't think I would think of this on my own, but I just saw a clip that gives a nice perspective on these things: https://torahanytime.com/lectures/343424
Didn't have a chance to listen to it yet, but we deplaned and got onto a new plane. We just took off. 5 and a half hours after scheduled departure.

On a positive note I think that means you get $150

Lol. $150 won't make a dent in my budget. Let's see if we can also get some tiles out of it and if it counts towards the status match. Then I should hopefully have enough to get to Mosaic 3 which will get me some upgrade certificates (if they're usable).

BH. Doesn't mean I like spending $150 lol. That's why I'm on DDF. Mosaic 24 hour change ftw to get this flight in the first place. There were four seats left on this flight, and DW decided yesterday we should go for Shabbos, so I booked a cheap early morning flight and immediately changed it to this flight which was triple the price.

They sent out an automatic email for only 75, even though according to their Bill of Rights, they owe us $175 per person. We'll have to fight it out with.

Now they also canceled tomorrow's flights back...

Air travel here is just a hit or miss mess. Crazy what a short two hour flight can turn into.
(Used to do a few early motze shaboos flights to FL, ALL of them I ended up arriving closer to the morning >:( )

The worst is that it don't tell you why they cancelled the flights and they don't rebook you. Next available option through JetBlue is Tuesday. I just booked United instead.

And United just cancelled. Booked AA through AS from PBI to PHL. Will have to have my car driven to Lakewood from EWR. Assuming that AA doesn't cancel lol.

The cancelling at every little storm is another major limitation of air travel. So not reliable.

I flew 6 years ago with Delta from FLL to LGA through a snowstorm that dropped a foot of snow and it was not even delayed. Not sure why they're cancelling flights over an inch of snow.
