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!
