Friday - We were off the ship by 7:15 but needed to wait a bit for our luggage before going through customs. The ship arrived around 3:30am and the entire crew needed to go through immigration before any passengers could leave. We took a RC “excursion” to the Orlando airport and arrived hours before our flight. The Delta check-in process was confusing to me and TSA had some new requirements (no signage).
Maybe it’s just the Orlando airport or I just don’t care for flying.
Later - At least the flight had free WiFi if you authenticate with the Delta app. And, since the flight was delayed, they provided free snacks and water in the waiting area before boarding.
Even later - We are sitting on the taxiway at the Atlanta Airport as some subset of radios used by ATC weren’t functioning. So they shutdown the airport until there is either a fix or workaround. So much for our projected early arrival in San Antonio.
Much later - After sitting on the taxiway, they finally went back to a gate and let us off the plane. We waited in line for the gate agent who put us on standby for the next flight. It was 8:35 then 10 the 11. Now it’s 11:56pm but it sounds like the FAA ground stop has been lifted. And, I heard a few flights take off hearing Atlanta.
