Double Diversion Trip Report

Trip Report (New One For Me)

DL 1074 from SLC to MSP (on 9.21, 5:30 pm departure)

1) Diverted to OMA (bad weather in MSP)
2) Took off to MSP
3) Diverted back to OMA
4) Crew timed out (but not pilots)
5) Deplaned us all in OMA
6) Got checked luggage
7) Pilots "ferried" the plane back to MSP (with timed out crew)
8) Found hotel in OMA (3 am)
9) Delta reservations took an hour to build a new segment in my reservation from OMA to MSP
10) Flew OMA to MSP on 9.22 (arriving 16 hours after we "took off").
11) Got credit for segment from SLC to MSP and OMA to MSP in same reservation

Owe ... and we missed our connecting flight to AMS by about 16 hours
