Bllizzard this weekend

Anyone flying to the mid-Atlantic this weekend? I'm SFO --> PHI Sat. night. Should be interesting. I do need to be back in S.F. Monday morning, esp. as I'm flying to Bulgaria at 2pm.

I am flying EWR-PIT-PHL-MUC-ARN on Sunday afternoon. Will I have problems? Some of my connections are not very long but atleast its ok according to minimum connecting time.

I do beleive that the US flight out of PHL to MUC is the last europeanbound flight.

What if I miss a connection and need to spend the night at the airport? Will US get me a hotel? I am both UA Star Gold and LH Star Gold if that helps.

It "should" be over in PHL by mid morning Sunday. How long it takes them to recover is another story altogether. Leaving EWR may be the bigger problem.

Yes it will. That's about the right time frame for the blizzard like conditions we're expecting here. Get out those cots, everybody!

Shouldn't be a prob. By Sunday afternoon, the strom will very, very likely be long gone out of Philly. I'll bet you fly into sunny skies as a matter of fact!

<Cluck, cluck!> Call me chicken. I bailed on this mileage run and rescheduled for a later date. Will lose the West Coast Bonus, but pick up the March Madness triple miles.

At my age, I no longer DO blizzards.

Wife and I on the 8:45 AM flight from
IAD to LGA on sunday morning.

This is going to be exciting!
To add to the fun, we are driving from BWI to IAD early Sunday morning to make the flight.

Going to be a LOT of variables in this one.

Blizard?

I was supposed to go LAS-JFK Sunday and re-scheduled for Tuesday for business reasons. Looks like it was the right thing to do indeed.

Having lived and worked in Las Vegas, Cali, and FL for the last few years I kinda forget there are such things as snow storms.
