So… yay…. My flight was canceled this morning. I found out right as I was about finished getting ready at 3:45am CT. Thankfully I was able to rebook for a flight about 40 minutes earlier, and I was planning on being at the airport really early (even though I have pre-check and it’s a smaller airport and security usually isn’t as bad as some of the larger airports). So now I’m sitting waiting to go! See you in Florida!
(Just received a FlightAware notice that the second flight of my trip just filed a departure plan… so hopefully that one will be good to go too )

Southwest canceled my flight on Monday. I was able to get another on Monday but now have to transfer at Baltimore instead of flying direct.
Thanks for mentioning that notice! I just signed up for a FlightAware alert for my flight on Thursday.(Just received a FlightAware notice that the second flight of my trip just filed a departure plan… so hopefully that one will be good to go too )
Thanks for this informative thread! I've been following for a while but starting to get anxious about my flight this week. If all else fails, and I end up missing the expo, where exactly would I be able to pick up my bib the day of the half?
Thank you so much for your insight.It wouldn't be of help. I believe the Platinum members will be in s2 regardless of number. But @ValW's number is a fringe s1 value despite no POT.
Based on the data collected thus far that appears to be in s2 of six starting groups. Starting time estimate is 5:07 to 5:20 assuming on time start of 5:00am and balloon ladies at 6:00am.
You likely put 4:30-5:00 based on your bib number. You will likely be in s3. Your start time is estimated to be 5:20-5:38am vs the balloon ladies of 6:00am.
My anxiety about flying down on my early morning Friday flight got the best of me and so I switched to a midday Thursday flight just in case things go sideways with weather, staffing, etc. Snagged a night at All Stars for Thursday night and will transfer to AKL on Friday. It's costing me another couple hundred dollars but my anxiety level is much better!
