While I was traveling I have had one cancelled flight and one delayed flight. I was able to catch an earlier flight when they cancelled my flight from Orange County to Seattle. So that was in my favor. When I was flying from Seattle to Chicago there was a rain delay. At first it was only about an hour delay. Since I was checking in early I was able to switch to an earlier flight. It's a good thing that I did too. The earlier flight that I was able to get on was originally scheduled to take-off at noon. After all of the delays were put together it didn't leave until 3:30, the same time that my original flight was scheduled for. I can only imagine what time my original flight landed. With a three and a half hour delay minimum, a four hour flight, and losing two hour changing time zones they wouldn't arrive until one in the morning. That is if they even took off.
