The sun is out at PHL

But that doesn't mean it was a cheery morning for quite a few travelers. More than half of departures and arrivals were 15 or more minutes late before noon today, according to the flightstats.com Website. Schedules have gotten much better since noon, with just 15 percent of departures and 10 percent of arrivals running late, flightstats says. We're getting fewer reports of long lines at US Airways today than we did the last four days. Please keep us informed as you travel..You can find flightstats.com here

It's Friday and it looks like Usairways is getting back to normal.. web site is up and running and I can get all the info I need. Congrats to Mr. Belden on his award....

lapnews:

USAirways Flt. 1528 arrived about 10 p.m. Saturday night (3/10) from Charlotte, an hour late. But the real frustration was that it arrived at Terminal A. Passengers dutifully followed the "Baggage Claim" signs down the long walk to Terminal A baggage claim, only to find -- you guessed it, a no-no: No baggage, and no USAirways personnel to explain the situation. Finally, an employee of Delta Group showed up and admonished us that "all USAirways passengers should pick up their baggage at Terminal B." When several passengers expressed annoyance or frustration, she replied, "Weren't you told? Wasn't there a sign?" But of course, we weren't, and there wasn't. On the plus side, by the time we finished the lengthy trek to Terminal B, the baggage had started to arrive.
