Correct, she is trying to get to Heathrow. She was supposed to have self-transferred to a KLM flight AMS-LHR after she landed in to Amsterdam this morning. Which would have got her in to London a couple of hours ago where her partner is already waiting, having flown in this morning. Even if there's a bit of a delay on the updated PHL-LHR service on which she is now confirmed getting in tomorrow morning, she will only have lost one evening in London so hopefully there's not too much of a delay getting out.
Yes indeed, today there appear to be two PHL-AMS performances tonight. And looks like AA 204 which the 6:45 PM that was cancelled yesterday and is the one she was on, is already delayed to 9:45 PM because the incoming from Paris is 3 h late. Then they've put on a second service AA 9605 which is likely carrying everyone from yesterday's cancellation and she was rebooked on it. But I moved her from AA 9605 to AA 736 which leaves 30 min later and goes non-stop to LHR where she wants to be tomorrow morning. If everything starts getting delayed then at least she won't need to again worry about having to self-connect in AMS again tomorrow to get to London with a bag.
Phew! What a cluster.
