So a few years ago I had my AirPods in as I was boarding. As I stepped on to the plane a shifted my shoulder bag over my head and bumped one AirPod out… and watched as it fell through the crack between the plane and tunnel. 😫😨 The flight attendant saw it happen. A few minutes later I hear “To the gentleman who lost his AirPod, please push the call button. We have it.” Haha! I couldn’t believe I got it back! 😄 10:34

I used to travel full time for work, and I had this happen multiple times. Just an FYI, when a flight is delayed more than 2 hours, they will usually give you vouchers for food when asked. Also, if a flight is cancelled due to anything other than weather, they will usually give you a free hotel room. Once you're back home, contact AA customer service and see about compensation. What happened was beyond their control. They pilot's duty time was the final factor in the cancellation.

And us Aviation employees TRULY appreciate flyer’s like you. People think we purposely cause delays to earn extra money…No! When the airplane break is on and sitting parked we also, sit, sweat on the ✈️ and do not get paid. We have no control over Mother Nature. It is safer to sit on the ground than to try to fly through a State that the weather has storms. Turbulence or the airplane getting struck by lighting is definitely not a fun experience.

So true. Sometimes the first transfer is the way to go, but not always. I've heard stories personally from people in PHX about delays, sometimes due to excessive heat, seemed more like something with the craft here. Either way, total bummer, don't be mad, also nobody should be mad at the 14 hour pilot rule. Definitely want those people well rested. My father in law used to work for UPS as a long road driver, he told me stories how 20 hours straight pretty much those would go, they had two drivers. One starting drive and 10 hours were their limits. When that 10 hour was met, that was when they switched. The previous driver was in the back sleeping and resting then tag team time that 2nd driver switches and off they go. He said they never spoke etc, when it was time to switch it was one punched out on the clock and the other guy punched in. 14 hours though, not gonna lie, let them sleep. Don't want pilots pushing it. Take off and landing especially, just do it safely.

This happened to me once. The plane had a failure in the cockpit. One of the displays for the primary instruments had failed, and the technician AA sent didn't have any spare parts to fix it, they'd have to cannibalize it from another plane, and it would've taken too long, so they just cancelled the flight and re-booked folks for the next one. The problem for me was there was nasty weather going through and that flight promised to be rather......rough. So, I opted to take a flight the next morning, and stayed at the hotel attached to the airport, to fly out the next morning. It's annoying, but just like cars, things break in planes and engine breakdowns happen. Tis life.

The plane has an Auxiliary Power Unit ( APU ) in the tail to power the lights, air conditioning etc... while the plane is on the ground. This burns jet fuel, so if the aircraft sits on the ground for too long it will need a top up of fuel. Your flightpath has changed due to bad weather so the amount of fuel required to fly a longer route around it adds to the amount of fuel required. I sat on the ground for 45 minutes at Sydney airport because one of the planes Black Box flight recorders was faulty and had to be pulled out , a new one fitted and signed off by an engineer.

Several years ago I had a nightmare delay just over 10 hours on Christmas Eve. Of course it was always just another 30 or 45 minutes. By the time we left the plane that was originally overbooked was mostly empty as most travelers re-routed. That taught me the value in never checking a bag as you have the option to catch another flight. A couple of time I have been able to take an earlier connecting flight.

You can either join or just pay a smallish fee for essentially a day pass.

With Air Canada, you can't speak to just any agent...you must speak to one person in particular, who tried to brush her off. She ended up with a guarantee of a seat.
