Flight home:
Departing 3p ET, boarded, pushed back, returned to gate, deplaned. Delayed until 9pm ET.
Rebooked to American. Paid $88 to stay in “comfort” and $90 for bags. Departing 750pm, get bags from delta, exit airport, re enter airport, recheck on AA, walk 5 miles to gate.
AA flight delayed until 10:06. Go get bags, go back to delta for 9pm (delayed) flight.
Can’t get bags, they’re staying on AA departing at 10:06, but I’m not. I can wait at the airport for them or call to file a claim. Unclear what’s actually happening.
Get to 9p delta flight, delayed until 10:15. AA delayed until 10:25.
Now: in the air on delta, my bags are ten minutes behind me on an AA flight, and me thinks Delta owes some serious fucking compensation.
