What's going on? The wind just kicked up about 30 minutes ago here in WIL, but skies are clear and the only bad thing is the temperature is dropping like a rock.
A friend is stuck in MSP and was told he couldn't get home until Wednesday. I ended up helping him find a $109 one-way with Hertz.

You could wait for the new regional upgrades that will be available in March. They can be used from any fare class but IIRC only domestically. I didn't look at the details too much since I'm not eligible. They're also not valid on JFK-SEA/SFO/LAX. The might be useful if you're flying TCONs that aren't to/from JFK but are long enough that the upgrade is important.

FYI the SC pass option is for DL flights only as per an agent late tonight, so zero value to me as i get in anyhow.

I'm beginning to regret my decision to move domestic travel to B6. Since Dec, exactly 75% of my flights have been cancelled. They seem to be really heavy handed with pro-active cancellations.

I can't to go to JFK & BOS. Due to snowstorm. I didn't want to be stranded for the day. I don't want to struck at airport. I have wait for a while. If the weather is clear. Is the weather really bad out there? I didn't want to get cold. I have to avoid flying to JFK & BOS. I should wait for a while. Should I have be more patiently?

on another note, if anyone will be in BOS between 11 and 11:45 I'm more than happy to guest someone into the SC

I dunno. I guess there was suposed to be some ice storm, but I landed in PHL at 5p and just rove to BOS in some lovely. not too cold weather.

I've heard the same lament about B6 from many. Seems their weather handling is mostly "cancel everything!" I also feel their IrrOps handling leaves a lot to be desired. But, I understand your position as a BOS based domestic flyer (or, at least I seem to recall you were Boston based...) I prefer Delta, since I just like "more options."

I'm overnighting in DTW because of the storm. The plane showed up, but the crew timed out.

I've never had to purchase one-ways on DL before so excuse my ignorance on this one.
Due to a really weird schedule, a coworker and I are going to be flying into DFW, where we will work for several days. Afterward, he will stay with family and I will leave.
Are one-ways really the same cost as round trips?

For whatever reason, the fare was $0.40 higher than at the end of 2013. I didn't record the breakdown to see where that came from.
