Because books.

If weather hoses my flights, does anyone know if I can get my money back?

Or they'd transfer the ticket to another flight, maybe? I would hope so.

You certainly ought to get something, Calli, but I have no actual knowledge.

I'm sorry, bt, I read "Australian knights" and I just need it to be some kind of Yahoo Serious Mad Max mashup.

ETA part of me wants to ask if the CFR is a respected body, but really, even if it's just some guy's tumblr screed about Tony Abbot that's a pretty good takedown.

Well, my flight got delayed again, so if it leaves at all it'll still miss my connection. I do like Delta's call back function. Instead of me staying on hold they'll supposedly call me back within a certain time frame.

Good luck, Calli - with making your connection or rescheduling, and with the interview, eventually.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

this honor goes to Australia

This is impressive, given that he's going up against Stephen Harper and David Cameron.

If a flight is cancelled due to weather, and rescheduling is not an option for you (i.e. you'd miss the event), generally you get a full refund. (Signed, Delta, Christmas ice storm 2004 in Columbus OH.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, good luck, Calli.

Thanks, y'all. I've been feeling increasingly ambivalent about this job (aside from a general "yay, job!" feeling) anyway.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Calli, they will automatically rebook your connecting flight as well. Look up your PNR on Delta's website to see what your current flights and rebooking options are. Sometimes it's less stressful than waiting for the phone to ring. You can also tweet @DeltaAssist for awesome help from their SM team.

flea is right. You'll get your money back. The magic words to use are "trip in vain."
