Quoting lostsound (Thread starter): Do you think there's a chance it could? |
Quoting lostsound (Thread starter): Would you try? Or in order to keep all your luggage and flight accommodations simple, would you just deal with the extra flight. |
Quoting flyBTV (Reply 1): It's absolutely possible. Back when I worked in the airlines (about five years ago) we had a LAS-JFK flight divert to BTV. We had 147 people who were, on the whole, incredibly angry, and three BTV-bound passengers who were absolutely ecstatic that they ended up with a direct LAS-BTV flight. |
Quoting tribird1011 (Reply 8): There was 1 survivor in Tenerife from the KLM flight for that very reason |
Quoting lostsound (Thread starter): Your on your second last flight for the day, and your last flight is a bit of backtrack due to flight offerings and/or location |
Quoting jetmatt777 (Reply 2): OKC frequently gets AA diversions from DFW when weather hits the metroplex. They will let you off, but your bags will stay on the original routing. |
Quoting ItalianFlyer (Reply 29): One time, we had the flight ORIGINATE at the alternate. The weather in MSP was going downhill, fast, and the forecast was ice fog and below minz for a full day. To keep the operation flowing, we repo'd several planes to GRB and operated key west and east coast segments from there. We operated an extra section A320 to GRB, picked up some incoming pax from BOS,DCA,LGA and then worked a sector to LAX. The locals were thrilled!! |
