We missed our connection by 2 minutes. PHL- LAS was scheduled to depart 8 PM, but left 9 27 PM exactly 2 min before we came. Now were spending the night in PHL, and flying PHL-PHX-PSP. Tons of flight canx and tons of misconnects here today. Anyone else had this problem today, this was first time in my life, when my flights didnt work out. Didnt like the experience. Because it was air traffic control, we got no hotel, no extra miles, vouchers or anything! Is this right, or are we being lied to?
Welcome to PHL. It ain't a bed of roses and yes that's right...no vouchers...nothing...nada. Bush was in PHL and it totally carpet bombed the whole ATC system in the area. Guess things at US and PHL aren't what you thought they were.
