Master Thread: Delta Flight Diversions 2024-
 

Crew timed out and we deplaned. Waiting for the DL plan. Weather was quite choppy. Too bad no Sky Clubs, and the Centurion line is looped down the hallway. We are not the only SFO bound flight to divert. Hope everyone else is happy flighting today!

SFO weather is a mess today, and Runway 28L is shut down for construction for the next 5 months

Heh the DL Irops snack and water bottle cart has just made an appearance at the gate. Plan is to recrew and try again at 535pm.

Lots of loops, and 1 go-around, I'd say

Why did DL 170 ICN-MSP divert to SEA on Feb 3?
 

I'm on this flight on Feb 7. Looks like it left 4+ hours late.

Interesting. I'm assuming SMF was bad too? LAS seems way to far.

I wonder if they considered YKM :D:D

Only if it's coming from Europe :D

The JetTip diversion tracker shows 14 inbound diversions to: LAX (5), LAS (2), SFO (2), SLC (2), PSP (1), SMF (1), YVR (1)

A little bit surprised SJC is not part of the plan…

Well it used to be designated as a focus city (4 years ago and covid hits…)

This was a quite unusual (for this region) wind event today. If you were diverted, you should be glad you didn't attempt a landing in this crap. Rain was heavy in places, but sporadic. Wind was violent, at least in Snowflakeville ;)

Back in December when the Bay had a couple mornings of major dense fog (no storm and nothing compared to today) we had a diversion to FAT after circling to land in OAK on regional jet coming from LAX.

Felt like a long day even then. (LAS-LAX-Bay Area circling-FAT-OAK) I imagine the storm today combined with the runway construction was a recipe for an extremely long day! I wonder why some of these more short hop flights didn't delay further or cancel out. Was the severity of the storm worse than forecasted?

SFO was using both 10R and 10L yesterday for takeoffs and landings…thus 28L, the opposite direction runway to 10R, was not shut down yet.

Add OAK to the list…CX870 diverted there, and then departed to LAX!
