I posted to vent my frustration with this week's bad luck flying. I don't hold US Airways accountable for weather though I don't believe that LAX or Ontario were also fogged in. That was verified when I was getting re ticketed for today and the customer service radio said that the SD flight after ours was at LAX and the airline was organizing ground transportation to SD. I could have rented a car and been home in one hour... I think the airline made the decision strictly for cost savings...at our expense.

I managed to get a discounted rate at the airport Hilton and am right now sitting in Sky Harbor finishing my starbucks and very tasty blueberry pastry from this place called Paradise Bakery & Cafe. So it certainly could have been worse - stuck in airport with no hotel. That's why I fly US Air (was an America West FF). PHX airport rarely/never closes to weather and with my frequent trips to DC area I refuse to connect in Denver, Dallas, or Chicago. Plus I have a customer in Philly which US Air services non stop from SD. Sounds like SD needs to upgrade their equipment (cat 2/3 whatever that means) as the airport is prone to fog.
