AA Caribbean cancellations

[FA Mikey]

Any info on cancellations in the Caribbean as Hurricane Dean begins passing through this week? I assume the flights to South America are going to be a bit longer and bumpier than usual as well.

Why don't you do a few 26a's to check it out? AA, for whatever reason, has cancelled more flights for threat of snow than for hurricanes in the past.

I dont know what a 26a is

It's a way to look up flights in Decs so you don't have to change to Res.

26a/Departure city code/Arrival City code/date

26a/JFK/STT/18AUG
if you want to check for the same day you don't have to put the date.

The day before and the day of it will show the amount of pax on board on the far right and it also shows an x if there are deadheaders on the flight in the column before that.

It's a great way to see if flights are departing or arriving on time.
It's not updated as accurately as 2flight# in res though.

26b/orig/arrival/date will show you possible connection cities.

If you have access to DECS, you may also be able to do XI ALL ALL to get a list of all the day's cancellations along with the reason. IIRC, they are grouped by cxl code.

For the non-airline folks... FlightStats.Com has the ability to pull flifo for a city pair, i.e. MIA-SDQ or check general airport delays for airports in the lower 48.
