OK, here's a Monday feel good story. A few years ago I was travelling (albeit C Class) Brussels-Amsterdam-Newark with KLM. On arriving at BRU I noted that the BRU-AMS was cancelled due to weather at AMS. On reaching the check-in I was informed that I had been re-booked on the direct BRU-EWR operated by competitor Continental Airlines. Consequently I actually arrived in EWR earlier than I would have done with my original KLM schedule! Furthermore, 40 minutes after blocking on at the gate I was driving out of EWR in my rental car! That was a good travel day
