AS flight 2 going in circles....

My wife and child are on AS flight 2 right now. If you track the flight, you'll see it making a U-turn over Montana and heading back to SEA. My wife called me from the plane; it seems like one of the engines is vibrating pretty badly...

You can track it at:

I hope that things go well. I assume that they are under control, otherwise the plane would be diverting to the nearest airport instead of trying to make it all the way back to SEA.

God speed.

Ditto on the good thoughts.

AS lists the flight as being delayed into IAD until 12:35 am, so they must think that the flight may be okay to go out again.

We'll keep checking and thinking of you.

Plane landed. Aww, you guys were more worried than I was. I feel sorry for my wife and son since they wont get into IAD until well after midnight. Groan.....

I don't mean to sound opportunistic but does she have validity in complaining for some sort of compensastion. And if so, what do you think is reasonable?

Yeah!

DP saw them coming over lake washington from
office window. Said it looked good for a normal landing....

Now, mileage addict's wife and child will have a trip report for us.

Here's relief and happiness for Mileage Addict and his family reunion.

Funny thing is....I leave tomorrow and am driving from Washington to Virginia. With their flight delay problems, maybe I'll get there before they do!
