My last flight was a two leg trip from LAX to EWR to YQM. (L.A. to Newark, New Jersey, USA to Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada). The flight from LAX to EWR was supposed to be a two leg trip itself, but somehow my booking got lost and I was rebooked on a direct flight. Things were going pretty well at that point. After arriving at EWR though, the flight to YQM was delayed by 45 minutes. Once it was getting close to the new depature time it was delayed again. And again. And again. This kept up for a few hours until they finally cancelled it. That was on Friday evening. The soonest I could be rebooked to get to YQM or any other airport within 2-3 hours driving distance? Tuesday.
Myself and two colleagues I was travelling with ended up getting a hotel room for about 6 hours, and then renting a car and
driving for 13 hours to New Brunswick.
