JENN ~ Do you have MONDAY "off" as a Holiday?


Here's the Flight Pairs - Sunday And Monday - same flight numbers, same times >>>

Early Bird from (SPS) Wichita Falls to (DFW) Dallas/Ft Worth:
Flight # 3226 - Depart WF @ 9:23 am; arrive DFW @ & 10:15 am

Connects with Flight # 604 from DFW to (PHL) Philadelphia, PA
Flight # 604 - Depart DFW @ 12:15 pm; arrive Philly @ 4:25 pm (getting COLD)

This pair is NO Good on Sunday (Philly will be too cold); but OK on Monday:
Flight # 3212 - depart WF @ 11:28 am; arrive DFW @ 12:30 pm
Flight # 348 - depart DFW @ 1:35 pm; arrive Philly @ 5:45 pm

All things considered -

A Sunday flight is going to be "risky" - he could get held up or refused for the low temperatures.

MONDAY is a safer bet - the heat wave of 31* in Philly opens up the allowable window a little bit.

PS: The notes about Hours of Operation at Philly =
No Problem - the Agent advised that Woody, as a "PPS" (Priority Parcel Service) shipment,
will be "handled" by Passanger BAGGAGE folks - who DO work all 7 days -
he'll be availabe for pickup at Philly every day 8am - 2am, including Holidays.

Hey Phred...
I am OFF on Monday for MLK day.

Sunday is supposed to be REALLY cold (23*F) because of a front coming in from Canada. Monday shouldn't be as bad. Poor little guy will freeze in the cargo area!

I'm confused with the baggage thing... does that mean he comes in to the regular terminal, or the separate cargo area???

1) Someone be sure that Leslie reads all this and DOESN'T try to fly Woody on Sunday!

2) Monday "should be" an OK to fly day - but the weather at Philly needs to be checked
later on Sunday to see what the Monday forecast is.

3) Pickup location ... I "think" it will be at the Passenger Baggage Area ---
But *I* will determine exactly where the pickup point is after we decide
What DAY he's going to fly.

Jenn:

I'd be sitting at the airport wondering what was going on!

Don't you have a CELL Phone to keep in touch with?
A Cell is almost a requirement to to successfully "find" Woody - so much can change
at the last minute - you need to be "in touch" with AA CARGO and one of us.

Yes, I have a cell phone. Leslie has both home and cell numbers for me. I DID have laryngitis for the past week +, and Leslie knew I couldn't talk at all, and just got my voice back today for the most part, so hopefully I can get to talk to her tonight or tomorrow.

I'm sorry things didn't work out today.
Hopefully soon though!

Lots of prayers for little Woody when he is able to fly!

I'm sorry to hear that Woody's flight has been delayed. They're probably full because of the 3 day weekend for a lot of people and then some also try to make it a 4 day weekend. I'm one of the few that has to work on Monday though. I sure hope that Woody will be able to fly to Jenn at least by Monday. Good luck.

Leslie... give me a call or let me know when is a good time to call you so we can catch up on this and figure out when Woody is going to fly. We need to coordinate things, lol.

[Cinder & Smoke]

I think it's time to *scratch* the idea of a Sunday Flight -
Philadelphia's temperatures are now forecast for a Sunday high of only 26*,
with Sunday evening going down to 14* .

Monday is starting to look a little too "chilly" to be a safe bet -
Monday in Philly is forecast at only 31* for the high; and 23* for the evening low.
A Monday flight might be risky due to the low evening temps.

Heat Wave for Philly is pushed back to TUESDAY - a balmy 41* high
and a warm enough 30* for the evening low.
Other than a chance of snow showers on the roadways, TUESDAY is the warmest
afternoon & evening combination for the whole week.

Flight Recap - valid for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday >>>

Early Bird from (SPS) Wichita Falls to (DFW) Dallas/Ft Worth:
Flight # 3226 - Depart WF @ 9:23 am; arrive DFW @ & 10:15 am

Connects with Flight # 604 from DFW to (PHL) Philadelphia, PA
Flight # 604 - Depart DFW @ 12:15 pm; arrive Philly @ 4:25 pm (getting COLD)

OR:
Flight # 3212 - depart WF @ 11:28 am; arrive DFW @ 12:30 pm
Flight # 348 - depart DFW @ 1:35 pm; arrive Philly @ 5:45 pm

The earlier flight is better - less chance of the afternoon Philly temperature falling
below Woody's minimum of 25*.

Do you think that the airlines would allow Woody to have a snuggle safe microwave heat pad or something similar in the carrier with him? These are supposed to last 12 hours and they'd help keep him warm. I think that most pet stores sell something similar to this. I know it would mean that we need more donations but if the airlines allow this, I'd be willing to donate towards it. I'm hoping that my paypal account is still working.

Leslie ...

Give me a call or let me know when is a good time to call you so we can catch up on this
and figure out when Woody is going to fly.

We need to coordinate things.

Did this conversation ever take place today?

Is there a Plan for Woody?
