Okay, Delta is a cool airline

I was concerned that Saturday's snow storm was going to throw a major wrench in my travel plans, but, I think I might have worked it out. I was originally suppose to fly out of Akron-Canton at 10:20, and connect in Cincinnati at 1ish. I'm paranoid about flying to Lotusphere because the past two times, something has gotten in the way.
2003 - Plane had engine trouble, had to wait at the airport for another one, got there late.
2004 - Aborted take off. Got to full speed, and then just as the nose goes up, they hit the brakes. Let me tell you, that is a lot of fun...NOT. Then, had to wait in Cincinnati for 3 hours, got there late afternoon.
2005 - Snow storm is heading for Ohio.
So, I called Delta this morning to see if I could cheaply switch to an early flight, to try and get ahead of the storm. Thinking I was going to have to spend $100 for that luxury, they went ahead and moved me from the 10:30 flight to the 5:25 AM flight for FREE. Plus, I connect in Atlanta, so hopefully, I can get up and over the weather without any problems.
Pluses: Get ahead of the storm, and possibly have time to go to one of the parks!
Minuses: It's a 5:25 AM flight. Guess I can't watch Battlestar Galactica tonight.
See you in Orlando!
