An Extra Day in Reykjavik

We were just ready to walk out the door to drive to the airport when this happened.

The Delta app said our flight was on time, but our incoming plane was late from Detroit. Flight Aware said our incoming plane was four hours late from Minneapolis. Flighty Pro showed our incoming plane as still sitting on the ground in Minneapolis. Sometimes you get a sense that things are going wrong, and this was one of those times.

Delta rebooked us for the same flight one day later. Thanks Delta. I’m sure there were other options to get us back sooner. I know there were seats on an Iceland air flight this afternoon, but those are gone now. Maybe not gone, but the price adjustment systems didn’t take long to make them go from marginally affordable to completely unaffordable for a group of 8!

We cannot get through to Hertz, so we are just going to keep the van. We found a new AirBnB for tonight, and we’ll take advantage of our extra day as best we can. Looks like a trip to the Perlan museum and maybe a short hike, otherwise more hanging around downtown.
