Hopefully an anomaly...that flight its typically very on-time (Flightstats says 97%). We're actually on it in a couple of weeks, with a 1:30 connection to the only daily to BTV, so that would've blown it if we tried that today.

There's also now a ground stop at DEN due to thunderstorms in the area.

It took my in-laws over an hour to get their luggage from their FI flight due to afternoon ground stop and subsequent knock-on ground operation delays earlier this week. Miss Swede is on today's FI flight, and I hope she doesn't experience the same delay.

Sorry, what's an "FI" flight?
