Glitter, My heart and prayers go out to you and everyone else that has been affected by this.
I am so thankful that I am not trapped there. We (hubby, my mom, and myself) were in NOLA over the weekend and scheduled to fly back at 5:58 on Sunday night. Needless to say our flight was cancelled and we were not able to get a rental car. We left for the airport at 7:30am Sunday morning and got there at 9:00 to get on stand-by. We had to make the decision of who would go and who would stay if we could not all get out (we decided all or nothing). AirTran ended up with 2 last flights out that left about 2:00 and we all 3 luckily got on the same flight.
I do want to put in a good word for AirTran because they made the best out of a horrible situation. I can truthfully say there was no one at our gate that was unhappy with the way we were treated, or that felt the airline was not doing everything in their power to get us all out of the New Orleans airport alive.
