I ended up being stranded in Chicago last night. Surprised? Hell no! We left Austin an hour late. There was no way we were getting to Chicago on time to make my Delhi connection. Did American Airlines help after I got here? Hell no! Their position is that "We do not accommodate delays caused by the weather or traffic." How about accommodating bad advice by the Austin ticketing agent? He knew we were delayed even before we left Austin. He had no information that the Delhi flight was not leaving on time out of Chicago (which it did). I had twice requested to be rescheduled for the following day if there was even a remote chance of me missing my connecting flight. But, thanks to his advice, here I am in Chicago, stranded for the last 24 hours. I'm now waiting to make my rescheduled flight. Hopefully it will be uneventful.
On a related note, the O'Hare airport has no free wireless access; no easy paid wireless access and no decent affordable food.
