Not important in the grand scheme of things, but I notice AA's travel waiver has a spelling error.

Travel safely, to all those in the East Coast skies. (And thanks...) |
My parents are traveling on AA-issued CX F awards back from SGN to JFK, arriving on Tuesday morning. Due to good last minute award space, I was able to move them to a Monday evening arrival. Still very likely to be affected, but probably less risky than a Tuesday morning arrival.
I figure CX pilots are used to operating in Typhoons, so if JFK is open, they'll likley make a go for it! |
I get in sun night.. no issue.
Will I be able to get out Thursday (will power be on, etc...) Hmm.. rolling the dice. |

thresholds of cancellations
Does anyone know weather thresholds for cancelling flights?
I'm checking the weather forecast for JFK at 7am Monday morning and it's showing 32mph sustained winds with 0.34in of rain over the previous 6 hours. That doesn't seem very promising for flying. Changing from a redeye Sunday night to a Sunday afternoon flight means winds will be at 28mph. Is that much difference worth changing my flight? |
I am due to fly into BWI on Tuesday evening (6pm). Should I try to move it up a day? Or stay where I'm at?

Late October storms can be nasty, but weather prediction is an imperfect science. The BBC analysis at this time says
Sandy is expected to strike the US late on Monday or early Tuesday somewhere along the US east coast, a day before Halloween and a week before millions of Americans go to the polls to choose a next president. It could make landfall anywhere between Virginia, Maryland or Delaware up through New York or southern New England. In New York City, officials are already considering closing down mass transit before the storm hits. |

Flying out from DCA-DFW-HNL Sunday morning. From the sounds of it on here, looks like I may be okay. Can't afford to miss my connection at DFW..
|
I flew stl-dfw Thursday and am scheduled to fly dfw-lga Monday around noon and then back to stl Tuesday night. Apparently this type of itinerary is not covered by the storm policy and the agent who I talked with said I am somewhat at the whim of the agent I talk to as to what they will do for me. I am going to wait until tomorrow and see what the story is.

+1 Those of us who live or have lived on the East Coast understand the fickleness of weather forecasting. When I was in college in the 80's, the New England forecasters got really spooked by one storm, saying it looked JUST like the blizzard of '78 and said a FOOT or more of snow was very likely. We ended up getting a dusting of snow...

Born & raised in BOS, not to mention having been thru the aforementioned Blizzard of '78 & the April Fool's blizzard in'97-only Mother Nature knows where Sandy is going & she's not talking right now... |

I seem to be heading in the wrong direction...going TO DCA in Monday and the BOS on Wed, at least that's plan currently.
