Been at Denver airport since noon, our weather had cleared but there have been multiple delays with flights from other areas. Our departure was changed several times, then the gate was changed twice. The connecting flight FINALLY arrived, then they announced that the flight crew was being sent to another plane and our flight was cancelled. They sent us to the customer service desk, and the line is literally the length of the terminal. Meanwhile, I had to get out of line to find a place to plug in my portable oxygen machine to recharge it; absolute necessity. So, here I sit. No idea what's going to happen, I don't even know where to retrieve my checked luggage. At this hour, the shuttles are no longer running to my town, and the only hotel at the airport is like $800 a night. I'm guessing it's going to be a verrrrry long, uncomfortable night. Fingers crossed that something good will happen by morning, but there's not even a place to stretch out. At the moment, I'm cussing quietly to myself, but that's likely to change soon. I was really looking forward to being in Seattle!
Pardon my waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.........

(15,801 posts)It's the incoming connections from back east that are bollixing everything. Still frustrating, though!
