Newark was reporting very strong winds and resultant delays last night and the overnight CO flights from there to EDI and GLA were also showing delays of several hours.
Could have been a knock-on effect from the weather.
My son and his family are on CO 77 that eventually took off shortly after 1500 hours this afternoon.
He spoke to me more than once from BRS this morning (not a happy bunny) and said no reason had been given to them for the delay.
Their final destination is Miami (MIA) and they were told this morning they had missed their connection to Florida.
The handling agents informed them they will be accommodated overnight at a hotel in the EWR area and flown on to Miami in the morning - via Atlanta!
Fortunately for them, they will be in the USA for nearly three weeks so the effective loss of one day's holiday is bearable.
