Middle of vacation and dealing with Virtigo (which has become very mild overnight) so adding my personal experience. Booked in November, to fly to DC to visit family July 1- July 9. originally planned for 2021 and postponed till this year. When we booked months ago never thought there’d be any problems. Yyc- yql YQL- DCA. With 4 hour lay over in Toronto. Didn’t think much more until stories hit the news about a month ago. Left YyC at 6am on the first, got to YQL fine. Fires up the phone when landed and got message that yql- Dca was cancelled “due to weather” and we’d get a follow up notification. Follow up booked us to fly out Sunday, 52hr layover. Went to AC connections counter, line was about an hour long and got flight switched to Dulles and our luggage would be switched there as well…..
Stared off towards the the gate and US Customs. Passed through security fairly quickly and then to customs. US Customs was a complete joke. Three agents open for all US connections. We got into a short line, which just grew and grew grew. Made it through in about an hour and a half but the line had to be twice as long by then. Head to gates where EVERY US bound flight has been delayed, many passengers stuck in customs.
Boarded and landed in Dulles, TBC.
