Among many other factors.
My flight from central Oregon to SFO to Burbank is on United, on December 31. We have the 6:00am flight to SFO, rarely canceled. So we have been watching. This morning that flight was canceled, why “a staffing disruption.” Code for Covid. The kicker is that the flight was canceled because yesterday evening’s flight into my more rural hometown from SFO was canceled. In other words, its the bang on effect. The airline did not have the plane to fly out this morning. If that happens on December 31st when we are scheduled to fly out, it would be a moon shot to make it to Pasadena.
So we are considering cancelling all flights, rental car, but booking a night earlier in the Best Western in Glendale. Driving beginning around noon tomorrow. Its a 14 hour drive in the best of conditions. Right now, 50% of the trip is in snow country, and its snowing tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow AM we decide, hold ’em or fold ’em.
Surreal.
