Comment Think of the Airlines as Well. (Score 1) 293
This takes me back to 1989 when I was supposed to be taking a MAC flight from L.A. to Seoul, South Korea. Because the eruption occurred a day or two before my flight was suppose to take off they had to cancel the flight. We were told that all routes were diverted because the MAC flight before the one I was supposed to be on experienced a sudden loss of altitude due to the ash in the air
So instead I ended up in lay-over status for 3 days, in a crappy hotel outside of LAX, waiting for a commercial flight to Seoul. I guess I won out in the end, instead of a 24 - 36 (I could never get a final answer to the actual flight time) hour military plane hop I got to fly on a commercial flight for 15, or so, hours.
I wonder what kind of plans or route diversions they are making for military and commercial flights right now?
