My children experienced something I never have in my millions of miles of flying: a weather-related diversion onboard.
They were flying with my neighor and heading to visit our former neighbors who moved from a couple doors down to Minnesota a couple years ago. We have remained in contact and last year my son Augustine went to visit since they have a boy around the same age. This year, my daughter Claire Marie, now five, went too.
I dropped them off at LAX on Sunday afternoon and they departed on time. But around 9:45 pm my time I received a text that they had diverted to Fargo, North Dakota (FAR) due to storms in Minneapolis.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
