What an interesting couple of days. We will start with my travels...

The loads looked wide open. Or so the airline told me. My plan was to fly RDU-DTW-HKG then fly on Cathay Pacific over to SIN and then head back from that point. Well, for some reason or another, Saturday I called Cathay Pacific's number and asked why the loads went up considerably within the week and if I should worry. They told me the numbers were in the mid negative 20s and 30s for both of their morning departures and the afternoon was bad number wise when I first checked and they stayed terribly oversold. On a whim, I decided to swing thru Atlanta and New Orleans to get to the west coast. I then caught a flight up to the Bay Area before heading across the pacific ocean to stop in Tokyo. My plan B was to fly RDU-ATL-MSY-LAX-SFO-NRT-HKG-SIN-NRT-ATL-RDU.


But as we were starting to deplane in NRT, the gate agent meeting the inbound arrival made an announcement: "For those passengers traveling to Hong Kong on tonights flight. This flight has been post ponned until tomorrow evening due to a typhoon. Please check with a Delta agent....."


Okay...time for plan C. What the heck is plan C? Don't have a clue.

According to the agent, the NRT-SIN filled up somehow due to effects by the typhoon, but I still didn't get that as SIN was quite a ways out of the way from HKG. Nonetheless, the flight was full and I was stuck in NRT for a little bit to figure out where or when I will be going.


Nifty little tip, for those heading to NRT and plan on connecting make sure you have your boarding pass. If you need to get re-listed you must be activated by the customer service desk which is only open from 11:30-1730.
