At the end of an already unusual travel day, my flight got rerouted from Reagan National DCA to Washington Dulles International IAD. Apparently, this was due to a fire at an FAA facility in Leesburg, which resulted in a ground stop at all Washington DC area airports: DCA, IAD, and even Baltimore's BWI. But before that, I had already spent the entire day sitting at the airport. My first flight out of Chicago was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms in the morning. Then, my second flight out of Chicago was cancelled due to aircraft equipment failure - the brakes on the plan had overheated and were no longer safe. I was able to get on a flight leaving at 4pm (my original flight was for 715am) by flying standby, which is lucky because I don't think my booked flight for later that night would have gotten in to DC at all that night because of that ground stop. So, after we arrived in Dulles, I hopped in a cab for the 40 mile trip to DC. After an hour in the taxi and about $80 after tip, I made it to my hotel. It was late, and the day had been mostly a waste, but at least I was here for my work trip. Then, I got pizza. Thanks for watching.
