Think flights will come to Indy tomorrow?

[hoosierdoc]

About to miss a flight home from Philly. Storm is pending. Thinking of renting a car and Driving home tonight. Any thoughts on what flights might be like into Indy tomorrow with the storm?

Assuming the storm follows the predictions, it will span Indy through Philly and into NYC. If it is as intense as predicted you can figure most flights in and out will be severely delayed if cancelled.

If you are in Philly now, and started driving now, you would probably run into the storm about halfway home and risk a very dangerous drive.

Hard decision, but my 2 cents is to wait and see what the airline does. Every now and then they can sneak one in or out.

Is going to San Diego out of the question?

Yeah for now, should be done with it next week.

5:50?!? That sucks! Was it the airline's fault?

There's going to be a low flying Jetta on VFR heading south from Michigan on I-69...

Gate agent cursed at us when we asked for our new tickets back since we were hitting rental car and tired of waiting. Nice. Brotherly love

If I had my druthers, I'd get a room in a motel, and wait out the storm. Better to be in a nice warm bed, than stranded in middle of Ohio in a blizzard, and no where to go. I've had too many of those nights, when driving an 18 wheeler coast to coast. Sat one time for a week in middle of Iowa, roads covered with ice and wind blowing 90 mph.

Think my Monday 8am flight will make it out?

 

[hoosierdoc]

I got a 4x4 escape. Fun to drive actually. Wife needed bathroom already. 9 hours to go

 

[hoosierdoc]

Well, just got a ticket. He wrote me for "failure to obey a traffic sign" rather than speeding

0152- Runways are still clear!

I get he was probably trying to "cut you a break", but if it weren't out of state and too much of a hassle to deal with, the incorrect offense would be grounds for dismissal.


Edit: Unless of course, you DID fail to obey a traffic sign also.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Sign said 65

 

[chezuki]

Sign said 65

Lol, lame, but valid point!

 

[hoosierdoc]

We're in wheeling. The ticket slowed me down 10mph

wife's turn to drive so I can sleep a bit and take over before the snow hits. Us air claimed they will cover the rental car. We'll see. Keeping meal receipts too.

Did you bring the GOLD?

90 miles to IN, starting to snow
