American Airlines comes to a Grinding Halt

The rippling problems begain this morning with bad weather in Dallas, Texas causing a few flights to be cancelled. By the end of the day, hundreds of stranded travels were looking for answers in the San Antonio airport. Not only were there weather delays but the entire American Airlines SABRE system went down for almost 30 minutes keeping the few onsite ticket agents from doing anything to help the stranded travelers.

The computer problems combined with the weather delays caused me to miss my Toronto Red Carpet Tour Stop for NewTek. Adding insult to injury, they tried to charge me an extra $200 for “canceling” my flight to Toronto and flying directly to NYC, which was the second leg of my trip..

Wow.. What a day..
