I'm reminded of a trip last year with storms between LIT and DFW. I thought Flight Aware and the app were both joking when they updated to show a planned flight times of 3 hours to get from LIT to DFW (flying time generally around 50 minutes, taxi time who knows how much), but it wasn't far off. Thankfully I had decided to "waste" a sticker on a family member because 3 hours in a CR7 in first was bad enough, economy would've been torture.
