Gnomedex here I come....oh wait, maybe not. My Delta flight to Salt Lake City (and on to Seattle) was supposed to leave at 7:45 a.m. from Orlando. Then it was 9:45...then it was 11:40, and now it might never.
We've moved from Gate 72 to Gate 94, trekking across Orlando Airport. The word is a faulty brake actuator is the problem. We're waiting on a part to fly in on another flight. Good thing I got my FlyCLEAR card to breeze right through security :-)
Update: 9:15 Right now there is a woman talking to the Delta rep, she's getting married tomorrow and is worried about the seven people on this flight and their 15 bags, including her wedding gown.
Update: 9:32 Hey we get food vouhcers!
Update: 11:20 Boarding has started, we might leave by 11:40!
Update: 5:53 Finally arrived in Salt Lake but didn't make the standby list for the flight to Seattle....just hanging out on standby for the next flight out
Update: 8:32 EST Still waiting in Salt Lake City. I am now due to arrive in Seattle at 11:16 EST, compare that to 3:22 EST.
Update: 11:30 EST Just landed in Seattle :-)

Maybe if you get really lucky, they'll give you a free roundtrip flight to anywhere in the U.S.

Those Delta people in Salt Lake are EVIL. They messed up one of my flights a few years ago and were the unfriendliest, most unhelpful customer service people EVER.
Hope you eventually got out of there...
