Flight delays
Here are some emails that I had to send during our trip to Taiwan:

We are stuck in Chicago airport now. There is a delay in our connecting flight, so we probably will miss the flight from Seattle to Taipei. If we miss the flight, then we will try to get on the next one, but that does not arrive in Taiwan until the following day. We will try to get our flight, but if we do make it, there will be no way to contact you until we arrive in Taiwan.
If someone else should know about our situation, please forward this email to them.
I will try to check my email before we leave Chicago, so if there is anything you can do,…..

We talked for a long time with American Airlines, and there is nothing much that they can do. The only option that they have is for us to fly to Toronto tonight, then to Hong Kong tomorrow morning, and finally to Taipei, arriving at 4:00 pm on 8/2. We think that is ridiculous and impossible, so if we do not make tonight’s flight, then we will try to get on the same flight tomorrow (there is only one flight per day from Seattle).
So, if you don’t hear from us again, then we DID make tonight’s flight, but we didn’t have time to send an email. If you do hear back from us, then we did NOT make tonight’s flight, and we will give you our travel plans when we have them.
See you soon (but maybe not as soon as we originally thought, ha ha).
