SAV to CMH yesterday…
Man… this was a rough one. Original ETD was 6:35 pm, delayed by an hour due to one small mechanical issue and needing to refuel.
Made it 20 minutes outside of CMH and circled in a holding pattern for maybe ~30 minutes, but couldn’t land due to lightning storms.
Diverted to IAD! (Washington DC!!) Had to wait at IAD for fuel and a crew to help us out, maybe another 45 minutes.
Took off again around 12 am, and eventually landed CMH at 1:30 am… But then there was no gate crew. Had to wait another 30 minutes on the plane to get off of it!
Get to the luggage carousel by 2 am. Bags by 2:30 am. Home by 3 am.
What should have been a 1.5 hour flight turned into 6+ hours on the plane…
At least we made it home.
