So - who is Flight Aware savvy ? In-laws are trying to get


Mar 15, 2020, 9:21 AM

to Tampa from a 15 day transatlantic cruise.

Flying almost / already bankrupt Norwegian Air.

On this Flight Aware screenshot, is the dotted blue line the expected flight path ?

If so - wondering why the deviation ?

Any experts have feedback on the impending doom of my in-laws actually coming out of this alive ?

Wind?

pilot wants to stop over in Maine to pick up some lobsters?

pilot defecting to Canada?

The dotted blue line is the expected flight path, but it can be deviated due to weather, wind, shortcuts, etc. I'd worry more about them bringing home COVID-19 than the plane getting here safely.

Look, I can offer no suggestions to your question but I do have a question of my own.

What were they thinking getting on a floating disease incubator during a pandemic event?

Hate to burst your bubble of hope, but it can be

diverted for many reasons. Could be something as simple as a change in the weather pattern and winds aloft to save fuel and time. Other air traffic perhaps. LOTS of flights up there right now. Who knows.

Agree


Mar 15, 2020, 10:00 AM

This looks like a deviation from the flight path to avoid the jet stream over the Atlantic.

So that’s probably how.

2 hours to go. What’s the over / under, in hours, for how


Mar 15, 2020, 1:50 PM

long it takes them to get through customs & virus clearance in Miami ??


I’m going to open the betting line at 4 hours.


Ohhhhhh - and the pilot is back on the dashed blue line. So maybe there was cloud cover over the Atlantic so he couldn’t see the line for a while.

Not really glad he got it back on track - cause, well - you know ......

When does the clock start?


Mar 15, 2020, 2:02 PM

I've only seen /heard about ORD issues so have no guess on MIA. So based in nothing, I will take the under. Does the clock start once they enter the customs line or once the doors of the aircraft open?

A week ago yesterday, I went through customs in Miami - but it was at the Port of Miami. Customs was fast. Had just returned from a western Caribbean cruise with my in-laws.

Relevance of my travel experience to your original post? Absolutely none.

Still, when does the clock start on the bet?

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Let’s say 15 minutes after the MIL texts us that they have


Mar 15, 2020, 2:13 PM

landed.

That 15 mins should get them close to being off the plane.

They are in row 17.

Allows for a little bit of ground traffic maybe.


Sound reasonable ?

Perfectly reasonable start time.


Mar 15, 2020, 2:27 PM

One can't control for all variables. I'll still take the under. I'll go with an exact time of 2 hrs and 13 min. Probably on the low end but I'm rooting for them. They sound like ballers!

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So the opening bet has been placed. The O/U moves to 3 hours


Mar 15, 2020, 3:10 PM

and 30 minutes - so I get bets equal on both sides and RAKE IN the vig !!!

I am CASHING IN on this virus thing !!! Bam !!!

Mar 15, 2020, 3:02 PM

Dotted line is just the expected flight path. Sometimes this changes on weather and other factors.

Mostly likely with Norwegian having the inital dotted line is there are priority flight lanes which are priced differently. The dotted line is a longer flight but a cheaper path fee wise for them to take. But with all the cancellations the other path opened up which is beneficial because it'll take less fuel. So basically the get a better path for the same money.

Supposedly CDC is coming onboard for something or another.

Or they are releasing planes one at a time to go be cleared ?

MIL only does voice to text and her sends are nearly indecipherable some times.

we could double down on some Miami to Tampa bets


Mar 15, 2021, 9:19 AM

That would continue annoy others that do not seem to be enjoying this thread as much as you and I.

But if we choose to not go that route, I'll take a nice N95 mask (one can dream) or a single container of Clorox Wipes.

So we got them a Southwest flight out of Ft Lauderdale


Mar 15, 2020, 9:54 PM

tomorrow at 2:50pm . . . .

Wait for this . . . .

They made reservations for tonight at the Hard Rock in Hollywood because they wanted to stay "in the guitar" . . . .


These 2 seriously are licking the toilet bowl and daring something to happen.

He's diabetic & she was compromised before getting on the 14 day cruise.


ASIDE:

So they get into Miami today and sit on the plane for nearly 2 hours.

They get a sheet of paper to fill out that asks how they are feeling, have they been in China recently or been near anyone who has.

About a half sheet of paper.

The bottom half is "To be filled out by US Authority ONLY" kinda thing and it includes a fill in the blank of "what was this person's temperature upon entering the country" . . . .

They filled out the paperwork, turned it in, waited another 30 minutes & were told they were all cleared to exit the plane & go on about their day - Have a NICE Day.

No further interviews and CERTAINLY no medical consultation to take temperatures, etc.

Re: So we got them a Southwest flight out of Ft Lauderdale


Mar 15, 2020, 10:30 PM

My father in law is a diabetic as well who doesn't give a poo about changing his plans for anyone or anything. My in-laws were hitting the local tribal casinos (Michigan) this past weekend. They are bummed because their favorite announced this afternoon that they are closing. But their second favorite remains open for now. So yea!

I'm sure they would applaud your in laws for their choice in lodging but they would be quick to tell you that the slots are tight at Hard Rock. As mentioned earlier, we just got back from a 7 night cruise a week ago with them. They were the ones who insisted we go (slots sucked onboard too I was told). They are two old Honey Badgers. They don't give a ####.

Looking forward to a final update tomorrow when they get home safely.

mess with your internal clock ...... for so many days headed over there, at noon, the clock goes to 1pm


Anyway - up at 3am and changed their flight to the 10am one.
