No good.

Ours is the only confirmed canceled flight from O'Hare this morning. We're going to be at the airport at 6 a.m., hoping to somehow catch standby on already-booked flights. We'll also be fighting for seats with everyone who's been stranded overnight.

If we can't catch standby tomorrow, we're scrapping the whole thing and going on vacation some other time.

Thank God for travel insurance. Please, keep your fingers crossed.

Game on?

So this morning I woke up, checked CLTV (the all-Chicago, all the time station) and found that all United flights were canceled out of O'Hare. Then I checked online and saw that flights were still on. So I called O'Hare, called United, and after talking to a customer service rep in India, we're booked on the 10:20 flight this morning. \o/ Seriously, this makes me so happy. Even if the flight is canceled or delayed, just getting on a flight 4 hours past our scheduled departure rather than 36 hours is in itself a victory. We have a printout of the confirmed seats, and we've already checked in online. Let's just hope the flight gets off the ground.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us.
