Due to the death of her cousin, Susan flew out to Florida today. Got a decent fare on United ($465 round trip - not bad for last minute). Took her to Ontario airport this morning. She was flying through DFW (One of United's hubs).
About the time of her layover, she gives me a call. I ask her how Dallas is. She informs me she is in El Paso. WTF? Turns out that DFW was closed due to high winds. They had a later flight scheduled from El Paso to DFW then on to Florida.
Long story short (I just finished typing my epic novel on the satellite installation), no flight out of El Paso today. They put her up in a hotel for the night. They have her booked on a Continental fllight that leaves at 6:00 in the morning, so she has to get up around 3:30 so she has time to get something to eat and get to the airport early (the security check at El Paso is S-L-O-W).
Also, the flight on Continental is not a direct from El Paso to Tampa (I think she is going through Houston - one of Continental's hubs).
Between this problem and the Satellite installation issues, it has not been a good day.
