I called the airlines today and while we were talking she noticed that our flight out of Orlando was delayed 1.5 hrs. and that the connecting flight in Dallas was also delayed so we would make that okay. this means instead of a 6 hour layover in LA it would be a more reasonable 4 hours or so. thing is she also told us Dallas is a mess right now and we would be well advised to have our flights rerouted thru another city. but of course i cannot get our travel agent on the phone to help us! and to add to the confusion, the agent told us one thing, but the travel agency is not showing any delays so we don't know who's right. and I'm getting a little nervous about sitting here only to find out our flight was on time... so let's hope we get some returned calls SOON!
UPDATE: so we just found out our aircraft has not even left it's originating city, which means we won't be leaving Orlando now until sometime after 8pm and arriving in Dallas around 9:30 -- 3 hours late. they are trying to make sure we have a connecting flight out of Dallas. there is one that would leave there at 10:30 getting to LA at 11:30. that would give us just over 2 hours layover in LA. which with having to go thru LAX security, scares me a bit. but 2 hours i can live with. as a courtesy, American has upgraded our Dallas to lax flight to first class. let's just hope we get there in time to enjoy it! oh and two urgent calls to Travel Guru Todd AND NO RESPONSE BACK!!!!
