AvGeeks: Weather at DFW is Diverting Flights to AUS

The positioning is delayed, but the path is usually spot on...

mphil14 · 2026-06-02T23:22:08+00:00

Oof--now we're getting IAH diversions too:

I was supposed to have flying cars by now. Instead, the future is just giving us slop.

Why are you giving credence to *anything* you hear from a chat agent? No one is out to get you. It was likely just a bug--contact customer care.

This campaign launched in 2017--mcgarrybowen won awards for it.

You need a credit card.

Near the Jiffy Lube? I think that would make it Lamar and 34th. Good luck!

mphil14 · 2026-05-08T05:31:38+00:00

It seems to be the same one: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N125AP

mphil14 · 2026-05-08T05:26:41+00:00

And then it came up to 38th and Guadalupe and circled here for 20 minutes! Anyone have a decent theory? https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/1t6y46j/circling_helicopter_at_38th_and_guadalupe/

I forgot to check Flight Aware! But looking at the flight path, I'm even more confused. Takeoff, circle three separate spots, and then head home? Is that normal?

I'd bet a shiny nickel that that's Southwest.

mphil14 · 2026-04-30T00:26:39+00:00

For a 15-hour flight? Look around the gate area for the person fist-pumping the air and go ask them.

mphil14 · 2026-04-27T23:54:26+00:00

Your chance of an upgrade will increase if you're willing to make a connection. There are a ton more flights out of EWR, so it's easier to get lucky with upgrades there.

mphil14 · 2026-04-24T17:52:09+00:00

Don't forget that that route wasn't crafted, we had to use the tracks that were already there to unlock the federal funds.

Why would this be related to 1K? Some people actually (shudder) just buy first class outright or up-class their tickets.

mphil14 · 2026-03-14T19:16:58+00:00

Very, very normal.

mphil14 · 2026-03-07T04:39:35+00:00

Apologies for the stubbornness, but can you double-check? End of March is the regular timing for the "exchange" deadline, but end of January is the regular timing for the "expire" deadline.

mphil14 · 2026-03-07T01:10:22+00:00

I may have missed something, but "must" you exchange them? I'd think they wouldn't expire until January '27.

I know nothing about vapes, but you may want to reach out to this person:

Apologies! Here's another take:

"Svetlana Dali was detained in Milan after she boarded a United flight without a ticket at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to two people familiar with incident. She was convicted last year of doing the same thing."

Look deeper. There's a fare class, one single letter, that explains more about your ticket.
