IAD A Total Mess (And a question)
Im on 975 and have been listening to metering at the gate for 2 hours and my best guess is at least another hour til takeoff. No one is going anywhere and by the looks of the cell, you'd be crazy to want to.
My question is do I as a 1P on a PAID F ticket get a free hotel in SFO for a weather misconnect? |

Yes, Domestic paid F does get hotel for weather, see S*UAL/INVOLUNTARY REROUTE-AMENITY
***HOTEL AND $15 MEAL VOUCHER*** ONLY 1 NIGHTS LODGING AND A $15 MEAL VOUCHER MAY BE PROVIDED FOR FLIGHT INTERRUPTION IF AT LEAST 1 OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE MET: .... - ANY FLIGHT INTERRUPTION INCLUDING THOSE CAUSED BY WEATHER OR ATC THAT RESULTS IN GS/1K/PASSPLUS/UF/UB OR STAR GOLD (INCLUDING DOMESTIC PORTIONS OF AN INTL ITINERARY) CUSTOMERS BEING UNABLE TO REACH THEIR SCHEDULED DESTINATION BY THE LAST DEPARTURE OF THE DAY. |

Assuming UF is United First. Time for the red roof inn! |

Still here, but this F suite is probably the best place to be ;)

Goin to ONT and have been protected in the morning. Our departure (J149) has opened but IAD still seems closed plus there are numerous a/c that have been released from metering and are waiting on the taxiway. We still have not been released from metering although we are #1, but have been for close to an hour.

Glad to hear it's a relatively short connection. Given the scheduled arrival into SFO, I thought you were going to say Sydney.
Hope you're not too inconvenienced. |
Does that imply that weather can make the IAD A experience even worse than normal :eek: ?

I live a little West of IAD and storms have been rolling through for the last few hours ... were pretty nasty earlier. |
Now we have a medical emergency onboard. Medics are now onboard and trying to get a passenger off. Been in this comfy seat on the ground for more than 4 hous now ;)
