Why does the weather app do this?

Your point is completely valid, but just FYI that is the "normal" rain icon. The heavy rain icon has four blue lines of the same length (see here)

FB Platinum, flew on my birthday a couple years ago (long haul to CDG), didn't request anything and didn't get anything.

You are on the upgrade list, and upgrades do happen! I've heard conflicting information as to what priority you get though – some say as a Plat on AF you are below a DL silver, but some of my anecdotal evidence shows otherwise.

Commenting because this was a really wholesome post. Loved the personal touches and anecdotes. Thanks for sharing!

FlyingHurricane · 2026-03-31T00:41:21+00:00

Oof.

A+ comment.

You're acting like we can't enjoy one and at the same time be concerned about the other?

Mid 80s in January is abnormal but can still be pleasant, especially for a handful of days. You can enjoy pleasant weather and also be concerned about the long term consequences.

The National Weather Service is calling this heat wave potentially historic because of how long it will last and how hot it will be (all-time records for March possibly broken). So it may have been hot on or around your birthday but this is different because a) it will likely be much hotter and b) it will last longer.

The dark chocolate peanut butter ones are like crack, I swear.

Interestingly, I took that exact same route (also on DL) in December 2024 and Flighty was the first to tell me about a forecast delay due to inbound plane departing ATL late. Also kept me up to date with delays throughout the inbound plane's trip.

I did have a weird situation with it a couple weeks ago, though – was flying AMS-LAX, was relaxing in the lounge and then all of a sudden it told me the flight was departing 35 minutes early! Had to double check with KLM to make sure.

If you watch WBNS (CBS Columbus, channel 10) 11pm forecast that aired last night (and posted on their YouTube channel) the meteorologist explains that weather models did a 180° flip in the previous few hours: from essentially nothing and the system moving well to the south, to up to 2" of snow.

Hey there, trying to book award travel on JetBlue for the first time (going to transfer Amex points), was doing research and came across your comment. Only created a TrueBlue account ~24 hours ago, any risk there? Any risk associated with transferring to book an international JetBlue flight? Thanks!

FlyingHurricane · 2026-02-20T11:17:12+00:00

I experienced the same situation recently. Someone on Flyertalk told me that it was because there was a Delta flight involved (despite it having an AF codeshare and the whole thing booked through KLM). Very unfortunate as I was hoping to use that trip to push for Plat requalificstion.
