You were flying on Delta partners going to HK. Sounds like you forgot to account for crossing the date line when scheduling your arrival time.
“Sounds like you forgot to account for crossing the date line when scheduling your arrival time.”
No I didn’t.
At that time Delta flew to HK to LA. The plane was an L1011
The planned trip was:
HK>LA>Detroit>DFW(5 day lay-over)>Atlanta>Buffalo was the supposed route going. DFW was added to see relatives.It ended up HK>LA>Detroit(Missed flight stay overnight)>DFW (a day late)Then it got really bad.
DFW > Atlanta - diverted from Atlanta to Detroit (Overnight in Airport)
Detroit > Atlanta after a stop in Tennessee - 13 hours late missed connection overnight in Atlanta (Overnight stay again)
Atlanta > Buffalo (8 hours late)
My conference presentation was in the afternoon the previous day. The conference started three days before. By the time I arrived it was over and the organizers had left.
The return route was Buffalo>Detroit>LA>HK And that was awful as well
