for some reason they had to detour 300 miles for fuel

I am in travel hell, again.

Four hours and twenty minutes to a response in a support chat that was supposed to be faster than calling. Over two hours to a "sixty minute" callback. Gate agent couldn't help. App kept sending me to a non-existent page.

I managed to get rescheduled via app through sheer will. If I hadn't I'd be in Chicago with no way home instead of back at mom's house since the callback came through after the delayed flight that ruined my connection home was boarding.

Did I mention that I only discovered this am that I'd been bumped to the O'Hare route instead of Dulles?

Oh yeah, tomorrow I get a two-hop through Texas to get home. Fuck this sideways

I hope you’re home safe by now. ♥

Alas no. Replacement flight also delayed enough to keep me here another day.

That sounds like travel hell alright. There have been all sorts of stories about how it's even a more miserable experience now than it was pre-pandemic.
