No, I'm on the 6pm flight on Iberia on the 13th. It took off 3 1/2 hours late yesterday. It's *showing* on time still for today, but who knows when they'll update that... Fingers & toes & eyes crossed here.

Sayhello

So you've flown with Delta too. The beans do leave stains though.

OH! I should fly the bean airlines. Then I wouldn't have to find a tanner.

Ah, but that would only work if you flew in your bathing suit!

Hmmmm... I wonder if we'll be anywheres near each other in the Terminal, so I can come complain with you guys!

(Of course, as much as I'm dreading a 4-hour layover getting expanded to 8 hours, I'll take it if it means I get there in time for the cruise! Amazing how your priorities shift.)

Bean airlines

That's a catchy name, we should set it up and run it on the promise of every inflight meal being beans.

Then we wouldn't need to worry about the ash cloud, all the bean related airflow would waft the ash away

Oh, I hope we'll be flying! We're taking Delta out of JFK on Friday night at 5:30. It was cancelled today, still shows on time for tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed! If it shows tomorrow that it's cancelled, I'm going to have to change flights ASAP!

Welcome Travelingdays

Is Chicago cold and rainy like it is here in Minneapolis ? What part of Chi are you in ? I have a sister in Barrington.

We are in the northern Chicago suburbs.. yes, lots of rain this week and it's COLD!! i'm hoping for some nice, warm weather for the cruise..

We are on iberia out of O'hare on Thursday at 4:40 through Madrid.. the flight has left the past 3 nights but been delayed from 2 - 4 hours.. I don't care anymore, as long as we get there! crossing my fingers!!!
Good Luck to everyone!

If you are booked thru DCL for flights. JUst got off the phone with DCL they said all the flights that they have booked are on schedule and none have been cancelled. So all is good.
Will call tomorrow and verify for Friday. I also asked about the luggage tags.. they go on your luggage before you leave the house, this is so they get transferred correctly and the air lines are aware of the green tags and won't remove them. When you get to Barcelona you must retrieve your luggage from the baggage area and a DCL associate will be there to assist you with customs and if you have booked transfers thru DCL they will asist you to get to the disney bus.

Bags packed on my way to St. Louis. Catching a Cardinal game tonight. We leave out of STL on Thursday. AA 152 out of JFK that night. We wish that the ash would stop already! I think I will have a beer at the game tonight and root for my Cardinals, what else can we do.... I feel the ash is out of my control! Good luck to everyone and safe travels! Planning on seeing everyone at the fountain. Positive thinking!

Why oh why didn't we stay on the European continent last Friday? So far so good with our American Airlines flight, #36, from DFW to Madrid tomorrow at 5:55 pm. It has operated every day, but late. That's okay by me. I swear I spend every moment monitoring those charts and maps and web sites. We connect to Iberia at around 11am Thursday morning.

We decided if our flight cancels, we will try for Thursday, but we would not try for Friday as the connection time is too tight considering the high probability for delays.

We are packed and ready to go, and I was sorta hoping AA would allow changes for flight departing May 12, but they stopped through May 11.

I hope that everyone makes it safely to the ship on Saturday, and we certainly wish to see everyone there!

Good to know! We didn't book our flights through Disney, but directly with Delta. We did, however, book our transfers through DCL, and I have my green tags on the bags all ready to go!

We'll see you at the Gate for flight AA 152 on Thursday.

Our flight is out of Terminal 8.

Hey, I leave out of Terminal 8, also! We'll have to see if we all can meet up. Misery loves company and all. I get into JFK at 2pm. Heaven knows when my flight will leave JFK. Just let it leave!

Isn't that the new security tightening proposal?

Or maybe it *isn't* that funny!

Sayhello

 

[jubes]

Air France cancelled one of their flights from Montreal to Paris tonight. It is the one that we are supossed to be on tomorrow! Oh the stress...

 

[Greg M]

We fly out out of Raleigh-Durham to Newark Thursday then leave at 7:20pm for Barcelona on Continental flight 120. Our TA just informed us that most flights are taking on average 1-2 hours longer of actual flight time due to diverted plans. My wife is going to need to sedate me... I can't sit still for that long without a football game on

But hey at least the terrorists will probably leave us alone because they are afraid their flight will be cancelled... so we have that going for us at least!
