Scheduled at 110pm out of Mexico City (my home base) today. Emailed at 7:20AM saying we are urgently trying to reach you, got the call at 8AM. My flight cancelled, I was rebooked on the 10AM that was subsequently delayed to 1PM (while I appreciate the rebooking, how in the world did anyone think that on a business day at the height of rush hour, that I would get to MEX from Reforma and Insurentes to the airport to catch that flight, it's a good 1+ hour trip). Getting ready to leave at 10AM from my house, and saw that it was delayed to 4PM. Called DL again and moved my flight to next day as I was a miss-connect in ATL to get to OMA. At the end of the day no US based airlines flew in or out of Mexico City today. Mexican based airlines suspended flights for about an hour. Suffice it to say, nature won, as I well understand, after flying Platinum and Diamond for 6 years, and am overall satisfied with Delta's response...Not much you can do when the local VOLCANO pops its top. Count your blessings, no earthquake! Happy Fourth!!!:D
