Stuck at the airport

I had a direct flight at a reasonable time.

Two weeks ago, American Airlines changed my flight to a 6 AM departure with a long layover.

So this morning I caught an airport shuttle at 2 AM .

At 4 AM I find out the first leg is cancelled due to "heavy air traffic congestion" at the connecting airport.

I now am sitting at the airport, with a ticket for a later flight with a layover in a different city. I will arrive at my final destination at 10:30 PM .

I wonder whether I am a victim of DOGE cuts to the FAA.

Edit: I am now looking at photos of storm damage throughout the region. Yikes!

I am SO sorry you have to deal with this truly horrible delay. In my previous life, before I quit drinking, I would have been in the airport lounge knocking back a few bloody Mary's...just a suggestion...🤗🤗🤗. And I HOPE you have a good book!

@4meAndyou I thought about having a drink, but seeing as I'm sleep- deprived, I think I 'll pass!

@DrWatson Any chance you can shuttle to the airport hotel and nap until 9 pm or so?
