Airport Blues
Mood:  blue
I was supposed to be in Philadelphia this past Friday, but there was some sort of blackout at one of the crew towers that was supposed to direct traffic...therefore I didn't leave the airport. They told everyone that it was weather related...and therefore we can't get any compensation for the lost days... I'm a little peeved.

Here's the letter that I wrote the airlines and the company that booked my flight:

I was supposed to travel to Philadelphia on Friday, but due to the fact that one of the travel towers lost power, all flights into Philadelphia were rescheduled to Sunday. Therefore, I lost two days. Additionally, I now have to pay for airport parking because there is no one to drop me off at the airport. If I would have flown out on Friday, as I was scheduled to do, I wouldn't have the need to pay to park.
My airplane ticket was nearly 500 dollars. Now I have to pay an additional amount of money just to park my car.
I would appreciate some sort of compensation for the 2 travel days that I lost so that I can cover the money to pay for airport parking.


Do I have the right to ask for this? I mean, I would have never had to bring my car the second time around if I had left on Friday....

Anyways, I'm going to see if I can go today...one more try.
