I got bit by the Alaska flight groundings due to the door blowout.
Arriving from international connection at night to find flight canceled, and they rebooked me one day (same flight, 24hr) later. Waited in 2hr line to get hotel and food voucher. While in line, bought a ticket on SW for early next morning adding one connection. (I had no faith they would actually fly the next day.) While in line I watched SW options fill up and Delta options fill up. There were no flights available on other carriers by the time I got to front of line. Slept for 2.5hrs on the voucher. Gave up a free bag allowance that I had via the intl transfer, paid for additional bag on SW. Eventually got home, 36hr transit time from first flight to arriving at my door, on about 6hrs of total sleep. The flight Alaska tried to rebook me on did eventually fly, but 3hrs delayed. It landed 3am this morning.
If I didn't need to be back for work it wouldn't have been bad, I would have just rebooked an additional day out to let things stabilize, and just explored Seattle a bit.
Of course my credit card stopped their travel insurance years ago.
If this post is incoherent it's because I am exhausted and incoherent.
