Holy cutting it close

Indy Coug

2.5 hrs from touchdown to tipoff. Should be ok but I put it at 90%

50/50 into Newark? American plus Newark is a marriage made in Hades.

Pray that BYU wins Thursday so you can make the game Saturday

Yikes, I would never trust that tight of a window.

I’ve flown them 3 times the last year (all work trips to DFW). Delayed 3 times. Do not like them as an airline

WP17

How much of a delay? Multiple hours?

Notbot

Mar 26, 7:50am

Where are you flying from? Do you have a connection somewhere?

Indy Coug

Mar 26, 7:51am

Flying from SLC with one connection in Phoenix.

Notbot

Mar 26, 8:00am

May the force be with you

Indy Coug

Mar 26, 8:21am

I fly AA more than any other airline because AA is the largest carrier servicing

BYUMizzou

Luckily not going to DFW. Leaving SLC with one connection in Phoenix.

Notbot

Mar 26, 8:02am

Yeah that makes a ton of sense. Such a strange layout. Looking at data you’re correct!

WP17

Mar 26, 8:11am

Yeah, it is more about weather and airports than the airline

Traveling Coug

100% True avoid Dallas!

DFW also often has flash lightning storms that cause delays

Regarding your comment on taxi time at DFW,

If you take a helicopter directly to the arena you should be ok.

gangbusters

Mar 26, 7:50am

The arena is only an 8 minute drive from the airport.

Notbot

Mar 26, 7:51am

May your flight arrive on time and may you cheer loudly.

gangbusters

Mar 26, 8:00am

Flying with only the clothes on your back?

GilbertAZCougar

Mar 26, 8:11am

No. Got a carry-on, hoping to stay through Saturday.

Notbot

Mar 26, 8:17am

It sounded like you were going straight to the game. Wondering what you were

GilbertAZCougar

Our hotel is on the way…..one mile away from the stadium. Drop bags and go.

Notbot

Mar 26, 9:10pm

With the airport so close to the Prudential Center, as long as you aren't

Google "AAXXXX on time performance" (where the Xs is your flight number), and

BYUMizzou

Mar 26, 7:52am

Thanks for this info. Says 70% on time. Late 14%. Very late 3%.

Notbot

Mar 26, 7:59am

This just raises more questions...what's the other 13%? Early? Cancelled? Arrived in different multiverse?

Isn’t the game at 7ish EST? Should be fine

It is. Just worried about multiple hour delays.

Notbot

Mar 26, 8:03am

Do not check luggage for better odds

Ezy

Mar 26, 7:55am

Wow. AA is very often delayed.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Don't check any bags.

Delta to Newark is the worst.

I hope your tix are for Saturday and not Thurs.

mendoncoug

Mar 26, 8:14am

You’ll be fine because AA has very reliable in-flight WiFi to stream the game.

garyfan

Flown American 8 times this year and 29 times last year. Only 2 delays because of weather.

WDaddy

Mar 26, 8:18am

Wouldn't fly AA if somebody paid me, customer service has been awful

DrinkSuin

Mar 26, 8:20am

I fly American all the time (2-8 flights/month) and rarely have had delays...

How's AA been for you when using the airport in Philly?

rainorsnow

Mar 26, 8:35am

I've only gotten to Philly twice. No issues either time, but

They are one of the most delayed airlines out there.

I’ve flown AA a ton over the past several years

SV72 Sale

Mar 26, 9:09am

Pluses and minuses, SLC is the most on time airport in the country (#4 worldwide) but American is only on time 80%

GangstaLean

Mar 26, 9:15am

Check the Dallas weather. It’s their main hub, and thunderstorms in Dallas can

SoCalCoug

Mar 26, 9:52am

Chicago as well. Lots of delays there for thunderstorms and winter storms.

WDaddy

Mar 26, 10:20am

98% chance you’ll be just fine, 2% chance you miss the game. We flew on

Scott_Tenorman

Mar 26, 10:03am

Reschedule for today. Pay the fee. Don't miss the game.

refunder

Mar 26, 10:04am

The problem you're going to have is not with AA. It's likely with Newark airport

BlueDiver

Mar 26, 10:08am

I just got home Monday night...was supposed to be Sunday night. Not sure they're

BYUfan92

Mar 26, 10:18am

I've had good luck with AA

thewaterboy

Mar 26, 10:51am

See if you can arrive earlier, because the game is too important to miss.

Archaea

Mar 26, 10:57am

I have flown a lot the past few years, being Diamond with Delta and Gold with AA

indocoug

Mar 26, 12:00pm

Delta has gotten so ridiculously expensive

vandalcoug

Mar 26, 12:30pm

If you live in Utah County you should definitely start building miles on AA

SV72 Sale

Mar 26, 12:37pm

Jet Blue or Virgin?

Archaea

Mar 26, 12:41pm

Do either of those airlines fly out of PVU?

SV72 Sale

Mar 26, 7:43pm

I hope you are flying premium economy or better, or are short.

My brother in law always books on AA
