    Doesn't Southwest fly to Islip, NY (Long Island)?



    Yes it does. But like I said...I HAD A REALLY GOOD RATE ON THESE DELTA TIX BECAUSE I WAITED TOO LONG TO BOOK THESE TIX AND IT WAS ACTUALLY CHEAPER THAN SOUTHWEST AND MY FRIEND WHO IS PICKING ME UP IS COMING FROM QUEENS.

    This is my last post on this. But the one thing I've learned in flying is you can't trust the schedules. EXPECT DELAYS!! I plan on being screwed up by 6 hours. I would rather get somewhere way early then be hosed by delays. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people miss connections (especially from intl flights) because they had a short connection. Take the earliest flight you can and if your flight is cancelled get on the next possible flight, it is only going to snowball. When you are flying and things start to go bad they get real bad, real fast. Don't rely on scheduled flights to ever be on time. You are going to be delayed. I will shut up now. :)

    I wake up this morning all ready for my excursion to NYC for the MSG shows. I get delayed a bit and don't end up leaving until an hour and a half before my flight. The whole time I was panicing thinking I'm going to have to run like hell when my train reaches the airport.

    So I arrive at 12:20 p.m. and my flight leaves at 1 p.m. I run all the way to security and thankfully the line was short and I get to my gate. That's right. 50 minutes from my house to my gate flat. I was so pumped. I check the monitors, flight is on time. I'm ready for this.

    Then I walk to my gate and there is the most disheartening airport word on the flight screen. 1 PM FLIGHT TO LA GUARDIA NYC - CANCELLED.

    Mother fucking son of a bitch. So I proceed to stand there for about 5 minutes trying to grapple my head around this until I make my way to the ticket counter.

    The only other flight out of Midway to La Guardia today is at 5:30 p.m. with a stop in Atlanta and I wouldn't get to NYC until 11:30 p.m. tonight. Mind you it's only 12:30 p.m. I'm not about to have an 11 hour travel day. Not today, not ever. So I ask about tomorrow and there is a 7 a.m. direct flight to New York. I then check out some other airlines around, but nothing. So now I'm back home after a two hour airpost visit and postponement of a killer three days in NYC...now it's only 2. Even worse I have to get up at like 4:30 a.m. tomorrow to make my flight. Luckily I'll still make the shows, but...


    FUCK YOU DELTA AIRLINES. NEVER AGAIN. JUST SAY NO TO DELTA.

    This is exactly why i decided not to go to the florida shows, my fear of my flight being cancelled out of Newburgh NY

    Yeah good luck with a ride from islip.

    Was just a thought. Driving 50 miles here in Southern California is the norm. The friend is in Queens. At least in the direction of Islip but still pretty far. I would make the drive for one of my friends. Mapquest says it is about 1 hour 10 minutes. At that time of night, probably true. I understand the price thing. Shame it happened. One of the most frustrating things to be held prisioner in an airport. Or just the fact that you paid for something that was advertised as being available, depended on it and they fail to perform. I can understand weather and mechanical. I can't understand canceling based on economics. What if a painter, 1/2 done with your house decides not to show up to finish because he won't make money. Is that right? Neither is it right for the airlines or anybody else.

    Try to get Delta to pay for your Southwest flight.

    Delta is the worst airline that I have ever flown on....awful, simply awful...it's amazing that they are still in business.

    Yeah, right. If there is one thing I've learned in my lifetime of flying...all other airlines despise Southwest. They want nothing to do with that carrier.

    You haven't flown much. I think they are the best. Northworse, United, American, US Scare are all worse.

    None of this is saying much we are really just comparing different colors of crap. None of them are fantastic.

    I tried but nothing today. If they fucking cancel my flight tomorrow morning. I'm going to kill somebody. Like literally.

    And it was cancelled not because of weather, they gave me some bullshit about the FAA and safety something in NYC. But I think it's cause the flight wasn't sold out.

    Not for nothing, but if they cancelled tomorrow then it would be your own fault for not taking the plan that would have got you in at 11:30pm tonight. Sucks that you got screwed, but sometimes you have to suck it up since there are no sure things and you basically had one.

    My fault? No way. They took my money and I was SUPPOSED TO BE LANDING IN AN HOUR.

    Like I said I have a ride and everything but I'm not making my ride drive out to the airport at 11:30 p.m. when I can have him pick me up tomorrow at 10 a.m.

    None of this is my fault. I bought a ticket for a 2 hour flight today and they cancelled. They should compensate me for this bullshit. I shouldn't have to wait around the airport until 5:30 and then get in at 11:30. To say that this is my fault is ridicuous.

    I am a consumer and I paid for a service...which has not yet been delivered. I'm getting to NYC tomorrow before the PJ shows hell or highwater. I'm not letting this pathetic excuse for an airline get the best of me.

    I feel for you, last month I flew in a four day span from NY to LA w/a stop in Phoenix, LA to Columbus w/a stop at Midway, and Columbus to NY w/a stop in Baltimore to go to two shows (Camp Freddy and STP).

    we were super lucky that we had no delays/cancellations, but that's why I didn't fly in to LA the day of the show, i was afraid that would happen.

    Best of luck to you, here's hoping the Concert Gods will smile on you and you'll get here with no further problems...and we'll see you at MSG!!

    oh and for reference, the flights were Southwest from Long Island-LA, US Air LA-Ohio, and Southwest back to Long Island.

    then 2 weeks later I flew Spirit to Florida and back to LI in three days, no problems there either.

    Its alright. I'm the friend. Islip's not that far but he'll get in early enough tom. Not a total loss.

    I am partial to All nippon air for asia (bento box and sake) or cathay if the boss will spring for it, and british airways for Europe.
    Did cathay first class to hong kong once-NOW that was a flight everything but the female escort. ;)

    Alitalia-even the seats are green hahahahaha (at least the last time I was on one)

    I did not care for Air France's service, but the food was good!

    Delta changed my flights three times in the last month or so, but luckilly it reverted back to today at the time I needed. If I was stranded in at home in Ireland id be majorly pissed because I aint got the cash to book more different tix. In New York now though so everything good! Hope it all works out for you

    I totally understand that you don't want him to go out at that hour, but you could have just used one of the many trains to get in.

    Anyway, water under the bridge since you made your decision. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow! I'll be at MSG 2 too.

    Suck it up. My plane landed at 7:20 pm on April 16th for Vedder's show in San Diego and I was back at the airport at midnight to sleep a couple hours for my 6:30 am flight back to Indy. Was that stupid? Yes. But sometimes you gotta suck it up and spend some time in an airport. Does it suck? Sure.

    Fool me once, shame on Delta. They fool you again tomorrow...

    Did I start a thread to bitch???

    Sorry you have to get up at 4:30 tomorrow.

    That sucks.

    That is only one hour earlier than people that work for a living.
