Heard tons about the famous US domestic flights delay and chaos, but somehow always dodged it (apart from random 1 hour delays on the tarmac)

Not any more!

6pm flight (Flight 414 on Southwest) turned into 940pm flight. Best part is: the amended flight time changes from time to time (delayed to 910, then 950, and now 940). So one cannot sit too far away from the electronic signboard.

Friends tell me that Southwest is one of the better US domestic airlines – but hey, still have delays!
