Went to the mainland for a week to visit family and on the way out, our flight (last leg of the trip) was cancelled due to rain. Of course we have to pay for our own hotel for the night. While waiting on the shuttle for the hotel, there was a bomb scare which stopped all traffic for two hours. So anyway, we get on our way the next day with no problems.
On the way back, it rained 1" in San Diego, so they cancelled all flights and once again we are stranded. Last time it rained that much was 15 years ago. Anyway after a night, we finally get on the plane only to find out the wind was blowing the wrong way and so we get another delay. At least this time, we did get to Kona, but late.
So my question is to any frequent fliers, are airlines getting more touchy about weather (since they now don't have pay for hotels or meals when it's weather)?
After all the delays, we were out almost $1000.....[V]
It was sure good to get back home!
