Passengers booked on a Delta Connection flight operated by SkyWest claim that the flight was delayed substantially so that the CEO’s daughter wouldn’t miss the flight. While the airline mostly denies the accusations, I don’t find the response to be terribly reassuring.
Passengers on the flight claim that the plane was held for around one hour to wait for a late arriving passenger. While airlines will sometimes hold flights for late arriving passengers, holding a flight for that long is incredibly rare, especially if it only involves one person.
Based on flight tracking software, the plane was scheduled to depart at 10:45PM and arrive at 11:56PM, but ended up taking off at 11:51PM and landing at 12:35AM. So the plane was held longer than the actual flight time.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
