Great explanation. I got stuck in Dallas just before Christmas weekend a few years ago. Four flights cancelled in 24 hours, then on Friday afternoon they told me that I might get on a flight the next Wednesday.
I was not going to leave my wife alone at Christmas, so I rented one of the last cars at the airport and drove through the weather 36 hours to Portland, OR. Got home at 1 PM Christmas day.
I'd MUCH rather have advance notice than have to do that again.
Thank you so much for all of this information. It really makes sense and helps a lot!! Flying to Denver from PBI on Tuesday. Praying all goes well !! Fingers are crossed!!
This Substack should be sent to Elliott Confidential who believes every passenger on a cancelled flight should automatically be compensated, no matter the reason for the cancellation. And the DOT should enforce it and isn’t because of DJT hating consumers.

The worst is when they delay every hour and just string you along until they finally cancel at the end of the night
I appreciate the A vs B comparison. Very helpful perspective. Thank you for all these “behind-the-scenes” explanations.

Uhhh, isn't Option B the premise of Planes, Trains and Automobiles?
