When I flew into IAH this morning the airport was a mess... Looks like CO had to cancel a bunch of flights yesterday and had crew issues do to late arrivals at the outposts last night.
There were planes parked all over the tarmac, everywhere you could find to stick a plane. Saw everything from ERJ's to 767's sitting around from the mess.
Inside the terminal was worse... oh, I felt bad for people... there were a ton of people sleeping on benches and the floors from what must have been last nights cancelled flights.
I have to give a lot of credit to the Elite desk today as I was scheduled on the 7am today out of MCI but I got a flight notification on my phone at 1:30am saying 1hr 46 delay because of crew (they arrived at MCI 4 hrs late last night). I checked and the 6am was on time but showed only 1 seat left in Worldspan. I called up and the CSR switched me to the 6am flight with no problems... saved my whole day becasue it would have been one misconnect after another if I got into IAH that late.
