Ugh. I thought we had booked safely... We couldn't get a direct flight home but the flight we booked had a layover in Atlanta of more than 4 hours. Our departure is now delayed by 2 hours and 40 minutes. No problem, right? I mean, that just shortens our layover to an hour and a half.
Nope. The flight to Atlanta isn't just delayed, it's being diverted to Miami for a quick stop before continuing to Atlanta. That means we won't arrive in Atlanta until 10:55pm. Our connection departs at 10:49pm.
There are currently 80 people in line to talk to a gate agent. I'm on hold with the Delta phone support line with an estimated wait time of 48 minutes to talk to someone.
