Why Not Having Flights Tuesday/Wednesday is Bad Thing? Ask Paul
Read Time:1 Minute, 44 Second
Editor’s note: Wife flew back Sunday, not wanting to wait till Monday just in case this happened.
Paul’s Comment:
Won’t be getting a trip report today. The flight to ORH and back got cancelled. They said it was reasons beyond their control (which is weather or ATC they say) but according to flight radar 24, our plane is in Bridgetown Barbados and is leaving 22 hours late for a flight that was suppose to leave yesterday. I know it’s suppose to rain in Worcester today but with the cat III system, was it really the weather why they cancelled or is that an excuse for them to use so they don’t have to compensate anyone?
This is one thing that everyone on my flight will experience today and sucks with the no flights on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Everyone probably got new itineraries and my original one had me leaving FLL at 430 getting to Jacksonville at 530 then connecting there to get to Logan at 1045 tonight which I couldn’t chance because the only way I go to and from Logan is with the T (I’ll take the silver line to south station then the commuter rail to Worcester).
Without the Tuesday/Wednesday flight, it results in a real nightmare for certain families because you have to then figure out how you’re getting home if you fly out on a Monday. Not looking forward to this happening and it’s a risk leaving Worcester especially since there’s zero flights that JetBlue have those days until the middle of January (thanksgiving and Christmas week are exceptions) so if you fly out on a Monday, an alternative plan may be needed. Yes I did change my flight to this afternoon non stop to Logan but I wasn’t able to book it through the app, I had to call them which was a little bit of a pain but it’s figured out now at least. Hopefully they go back to daily flights and stop pushing the no Tuesday and Wednesday flights.

A good source told me that Tuesday-Wednesday flights are on hold because of the runway work that must be complete, for all the freight that’s coming soon.
That wouldn’t surprise me Jetson. The airport has been getting more freight lately and they’ve had MD88s and Boeing 727s landing there which are bigger planes.
Today was madness, I rebooked my flight to a 125 from fll to lane 3 hours later at logan. We were delayed due to a bad tire that needed to be replaced and boarding took forever for some unknown reason. We were about to leave at 3pm then they had to re route us over the mid west and then go east to Boston so we had to go from the end of the runway back to the gate to get more fuel. They gave the option for us to get off and re book flights but if we checked bags we weren’t able to get them. I went with my gut and did that because with all the problems I had already, I didn’t think that would be the last one and sure enough the plane ended up having to divert to Orlando where it currently sits. I feel really bad because a lot of people that were scheduled on the Worcester flight were on that one as well and they’re currently stuck in MCO and the AC wasn’t working when we were on the ground at FLL so it’s been a nightmare for a lot of people trying to get back to Worcester. Only 6-7 people got off because they weren’t compensating anyone (I have family down here so I’m staying w them an extra night) but I really feel bad for everyone on that flight especially since there were a lot of families with very young kids as well. This is why I care a lot more about it. It’s not for my sake because for me I can go to Logan and then take the T home if needed but for these families with young kids it’s an absolute nightmare what they’re dealing with right now.
Jetson needs better sources. All the construction work is being done over night. AA and DL are still operating on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Yes they can use the shorter runway, but I checked the NOTAMS, and both runways have been open during the day ever since the construction started. No reason for JetBlue to cancel due to construction, most likely taking advantage of post summer summer lull to get some maintenance out of the way.
I have good sources. They are operating small lighter planes Delta and American. They are also working during the day as well. Tar plants don’t like to open every night
