amethyst73Huz is on his way to Edinburgh for a conference! All very exciting, yes. His original flight schedule: leave SFO at ~1 PM, arrive at Newark and have a 45-minute connection time for his international flight.
We were nothing short of astounded this AM when we found a phone message from someone at Continental informing him that a lot of flights getting into the Newark/New York area were being delayed 'cuz of weather and requesting that he allow them to switch him to another flight out of SFO that left a good two hours earlier. He called back, the itinerary was changed, all was well and good. His new flight out was delayed by half an hour, but no biggie - as he said this morning, he'd rather wait around in the Newark airport when he didn't have to worry about missing further connections.
All that preparation came to no good, though. The plane that the group will be flying out on is en route from Florida, nearly FIVE HOURS late. (I think this was not the original plane they meant to depart on, but I don't know what happened to that plane. Maybe giant penguins hijacked it to Antarctica.)
Huz's Edinburgh flight is scheduled to depart just shy of four hours later than originally planned.
He will have spent over 6 hours hanging about in the Newark airport. Poor guy!
And to top things off, his NexusOne seems to have bricked - it won't turn on when he presses the power button. :(
Here's hoping the rest of his trip goes better than this first bit has.
