Right. But last year they cancelled all of our direct flights on Friday out of our international airport after the first flight of the morning, which we were on that one, so my family made it in. We were the only level from our gym there and with no access to crossovers and half of the team missing until late in the day on Saturday, it was stressful. I would just try to fly out as early as possible on that Friday. It was DFW that closed and that is American's main hub and seemed like American quit flying first. I am on American this year again. Direct flight home. First morning flight was quite a bit more this time and with three of us, I opted to do 1 connection. My pilot friend stopped to pick her CP up last night who flies for one of the big carriers that their main hub is Atlanta and said the two big carriers oversell each of their flights by about 15 people, the one she flies for cancels a couple of flights a day and leaves a few hundred people swinging. Fly as early as possible for NCA. We have a two day comp this weekend and pilot SM almost didn't make it back last night and got the last seat on a different airline who doesn't do their flights that way to make it back home. Praying to the weather Gods, too. CP's fourth year attending NCA Nationals and only year 1 was there no weather related stress.
