as a long time local even i feel worried about this one. you choose to spend it here. be prepared.and i doubt u get on 17th either, even if u did expect tarmac delays of multiple hours
I agree with you.
Except that Monday should be quite OK weather-wise for flying. And CX has worked hard to position its fleet (thereby cancelling tonight's flight to HYD because they could not get the ac back on Sunday).,
The problem is that CX does not fly to HYD on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the 19th is their next flight. But they should try to get the OP there on another airline (with transfer somewhere)
