OUCH! How is AS getting you to TUS if the flight was canceled?

I wouldn’t know how or whether AS plans to get us there. The message at 10:40am said I’d receive an e-mail update from AS on rebooking options within an hour. Nothing 4 hours later. Can’t get through to an agent - at one time it was a projected 14 hour wait. I’m trying to get through on the Chat but have now been waiting longer than the stated wait time.

The on-line reservation won’t let me cancel or change without talking to an agent. Yet it’s impossible to get hold of an agent.

I was incorrect earlier. In fact the 7:50am GEG flight never did depart. AS keeps giving an updated ETD for the last 6 hours, but it never actually departs. The LAS and PHX flights did depart PAE this morning, but TUS got the shaft.

To the credit of both the hotel and rental car companies, they each waived the non-refundable policies for not showing up.

I wonder if this is going to be on on-going issue. When IROPS occur, PAE is going to get shafted by AS.

It’s not just PAE today. Sister is supposed to be flying SEA-MCO. Boarded at 8:30am, then sat at gate for a few hours. Finally taxied out to get de-iced, then sat some more. Captain is being good and trying to give updates, but he finally got worried about fuel and had to head back to terminal. So latest (3:00pm) is they are waiting to get towed into a gate.

AA still has 4 gates and the Eaglet terminal busses there. They took over the DL club, after Delta spent millions upgrading it...

Oh...got it...the first four gates within the concourse...two on each side? I've actually never flown AA Eagle into LAX and tried their commuter terminal.

Just passed though the nest on Saturday. Gate are 52 A through G? Other than the admirals club which iI have no knowledge of, it is nothing to write home about. One undersized snack place plus some vending machines.

Back on topic. I wonder if mainline or QX/OO or a mixture of both will be banished to T5.

AS cx’d 23% (159) of their flights today, 12/26, and have already cancelled 35 flights (5%) tomorrow. This is going to be a rough few days to try to catch up…

That’s all? A quick look at SEA on FlightRadar24 seemed it was far worse than 23%. So, that’s surprisingly good, but accommodating those passengers the next few days will be tough.

Probably because not all of AS’s flights depart SEA. He probably means 23% system wide.

From what I can tell, all PAE departures operated today, except of course the one I was on. PHX, LAS, and PSP were only 1-2 hours late. GEG was like 7-8 hours late. TUS canceled. So did the morning SEA-TUS flight cancel after apparently leaving the gate.

I was looking at Flightradar24 and I see some flights were "diverted" to places like SFO. Earlier, there were some that were diverted to MWH and Yakima. Yet there were many others that were/are delayed 5 to 8 hours. When it snows in the PNW, everything gets fricked up.

Sounds like the opposite actually. PAE has a lower cancelation rate than SEA.

I don’t get AS’s choice at PAE. One airplane goes roundtrip to GEG and then goes to TUS. TUS is totally full. I’m guessing GEG is not full, plus there are numerous options SEA-GEG. Instead of cancelling the GEG round trip and just use the airplane for TUS, they cancel the full TUS and send the airplane to GEG seven hours late.

After also having canceled one of today’s SEA-TUS flights; and tomorrow’s PAE-TUS and evening SEA-TUS flights bring already full, no they instead keep the PAE-GEG flight and cancel PAE-TUS. Now many more people are greatly delayed in their travels. Amazingly there were about 5 open seats on tomorrow morning’s 7am SEA-TUS 737-900.

Sorry you're having to deal with this. Any updates, if I may ask? Did you end up getting to TUS? If so, how and when?

Thanks for asking. At SEA right now. 7am flight is supposed to be on time. Still a lot of canceled flights this morning. KOA, SAN, SFO, EWR all canceled along with quite a few others.

I wonder if that other poster’s sister got to MCO yesterday. Sounds like an ordeal.

I'm referring to the former Delta SkyClub, which is above the Terminal 5 concourse - gate 55A. Its pretty big and I've never seen more than 20 people in there - a much more relaxing environment than the Alaska lounge in T6. Even has showers (which are unfortunately closed). The stairs up are a bit hard to find (in corner by elevator DOWN to the walkway). American opened it during Covid, I believe, to little fan fare.

To bring this one back up, one question...on this plane, the mid-cabin exit doors aft of the wing are the type with the smaller windows, used in other 737s with higher density and an exit row there (such as Ryanair's Max and Lion). But other Alaska -900s and Max have the door deactivated, the plug with the larger window and a regular row of seats. Will this one be converted prior to delivery? Seems odd that AS would have this configuration in only one plane.
