Last Wed, I arrived at ATL well in advance of my 12:10 flight. At 10:55 am, I get a WN flight alert that my flight is delayed to 1:20. So, I figure I'll get a leisurely early lunch and arrive at the gate around 12:30, well in advance in case they can leave earlier. I even check the flight status every 15-20 minutes to see if there is any change
At 12:01 pm, I get a new flight alert that the flight is back on time and leaving in less than 9 minutes. So I hightail it over to my gate as fast as I can, along with several other folks boarding after the C Group.
Look, I'm all for trying to reduce delays but once they have posted more than an hour delay, give folks at least 30 minutes of the new ETD. So I don't plan to trust WN's flight status again.
Do you think Flightaware or FlightAware would have provided earlier notice of the ETD moving up? Thanks
