My connecting flight from Atlanta to Seattle was canceled last night about three hours after it was originally supposed to take off. The next flight to Seattle that I could take would get me there about three hours before my return trip. I'm stuck in Atlanta until 3:30 PM EST when the next flight to DC has enough open spots.

Anyone else out there go bust? I know somebody must have, as I'm sure about ten people waiting for the flight last evening were going to PAX.

    I really hope you're getting some comps or something out of this.

    I'm back home in DC now. They're going to try their damnedest not to give me anything back, as I overheard several times Thursday night that no refunds would be given due to weather-related cancellations.

    My feeling is, it stopped being weather-related about a minute after they announced the cancellation and started being worker incompetence. I can understand stress but these people were just rude and couldn't care less. Plus, you know, I never got to Seattle. (THOUGH MY FUCKING LUGGAGE DID. It made it on one of the overbooked flights that was going there the next morning!) I should at least be comp'd for the trips from Atlanta to Seattle and back since they were never made, and after listening to the DC AirTran people tell me how the Atlanta ones did everything wrong, I'm going to sit on the phone later today till I get the most out of these people.

    I might email someone running the show and see if they'll at least send me my badge that was sitting at will call all morning... might make up for it. :(

    Seriously, no other posters had problems getting there?
