Northeast, Oh, No Snow

[mv417]

Leaving Monday morning 2-13-06 from BWI to Miami. Anyone think we will have any problems getting out of Baltimore. I am really starting to stress? I am wondering if we should try to get out tomorrow.

It is supossed to stop snowing Sunday morning. It's only 3-5 inches. You should be fine. No big deal.

[kenandlaura06]

I will have my fingers crossed for you...we are going to get hammered here in Massachusetts!

[mv417]

Oh, no, my aching head. I can't take much more stress, between planning, packing and now snow.

 

Didn't pay insurance either. First timer.

 

Oh, brother!

[PhoenixCruiser]

If your cruise is leaving on Tuesday, I think you'll be fine.

We are leaving wee hours of the morning on Monday.

[ajpack]

We're leaving tomorrow afternoon out of Philadelphia.....we should be okay...we leave at 2:00. I think the brunt of the storm is due later in the day.

Depending on the airline you're flying and when, you might be able to change to another flight without a penalty if it would make you feel better to leave earlier. I see that Delta, Jetblue and USAirways are all allowing changes. I havent checked any other carriers, but you can check their website for the dates/cities and requirements to change. If you dont want to take a chance might as well change and not stress over it. Remember just because you are ok weatherwise, that doesnt always mean the plane you're scheduled to fly on isnt sitting in the muck up north!

[AFT_LOVER]

since CNN is stating that the airlines are not charging change fees, so get there a day early & be safe!

We are leaving early monday from Hartford! They are getting 8"-12". The storm should end Sunday afternoon! (Hopefully, we have to drive to Hartford

on Sunday. I hope everyone has a great and SAFE trip!!!!

I am really starting to stress and stomach is in knots. It is snowing, snowing.

 

Any idea how late I can purchase insurance on insuredmytrip.com.

Delta has already cancelled many flights in and out of the Eastern Seaboard for tomorrow. Southwest is starting to cancel flights as well. Can you go to the airport and see if you can get on a flight tonight?

[Ocean Boy]

I just checked the web site for Providence. Many flights into the airport tonight are cancelled. That means the planes will not be here for the early flights out in the morning. Spirit and Southwest really seem to be pulling the plug. I guess they don't want their planes stuck up here.

[mv417]

I am not leaving until Monday morning. I am wondering if I should just wait or try to get out tonight?

Where do you live? When is your cruise? I would personally try to get out tonight, especially if you live in New England versus the mid-Atlantic. Even if the snow is gone, it usually takes a couple of days for the aircraft to get back into position following a storm like this. So even though they aren't cancelled yet, expect at least some flights to be cancelled through Tuesday and Wednesday.

Leaving Monday morning out of BWI. Cruise is Monday, February 13, 2006 need to be at the boat by 4:30 p.m.

 

I don't see any flights leaving tonite either?

[Ocean Boy]

What airline are you flying and does the plane overnight at BWI or does it fly in on Monday morning? If it comes into BWI on Monday morning try to figure out if the flight originates at a warm weather airport or from one in the Northeast like Bradley or Providence. Those flight could be problems if those airports don't get their Sunday evening arrivals. If the plane overnights at BWI it is going to depend on whether or not the airline sends its Sunday evening flight in to get its Monday morning flights out.

Could you get on a flight that would at least get you out of the path of this storm?

I am flying out on American Airlines. How do I determine if the plane is going to be their overnight or just arriving in the AM?

I am flying out on American Airlines. How do I determine if the plane is going to be their overnight or just arriving in the AM?

 

Is it an early AM flight, i.e. the first flight of the morning? Then the plan is going to be there overnight. If there are arrivals on AA well before you flight leaves, then it is probably arriving in the AM.

[wrp96]

Have you checked other airlines as well? I don't know which port you are sailing out of but American has a 7:44 flight out of BWI to Miami.

[Ocean Boy]

What time is your flight? Check BWI's morning arrivals and see if American normally has any flights arriving before yours departs. Also, go to the AA.com and check your flight number to see if BWI is a continuation of a flight or the origination of the flight.

 

Post your flight time or number and I'll try to figure it out for you if you like.

[Ocean Boy]

If you are taking flight AA1447, also listed as AA1647 in the morning, the plane comes up from Miami the night before. It leave Miami at 8:34 PM and gets into BWI at 11:06 PM. I think you have a good chance of that flight actually happening.

 

If you are not taking the above flight then what i just posted means nothing to you unless you can get on that flight. It is showing as completely booked for Monday morning.

[Nliedel]

Get out now, if you can and make plans to drive out as soon as it clears if you cannot fly. This is going to be a mess for a couple of days.
