Flight Delayed Then Back on Schedule
So yesterday I was flying back from Yahoo and while still at Yahoo! I got a TripAlert notification from Continental that my flight was delayed from 3:40pm to 6:05pm. It seriously bummed me out, because it meant I would not land until about 2am in the morning, instead of about 12 midnight.
In any event, I go to the airport after the Yahoo! thing ends, and while I am about to walk through the security check point I get an other email notification.
This one said my flight is back on schedule to take off at 3:40pm. I found that to be weird.
I travel here and there, maybe on average once a month, and I have never in my life seen a flight that was delayed come back to life to be on schedule.
Hey I am not complaining. I took off on time, and because of the tail winds, I got in 40 minutes early.
