Thanks so much for the response about the day of, @DopeyBadger! Just keeping my fingers crossed that I won't need to go that route...
Thanks for mentioning that notice! I just signed up for a FlightAware alert for my flight on Thursday.
(Edited) Oops . . . just realized I set an alert for Wednesday not Thursday .. . my marathon anxiety is giving me brain fog!!I'm only seeing flights through Wednesday. How did you create a "future" alert?
Thanks!
I'm so anxious and excited for my first (non-virtual) marathon!
I searched for my flight number, then followed the link to that flight's overall schedule. That next screen leView attachment 635767t me choose the flight for Thursday.
Just figured out how to set the alert for Thursday. I went to My Alerts, deleted the ones I made mistakenly, then created a new alert. It let me enter a flight and date (unlike the other path, which listed a given flight up through tomorrow). Then I could create the alert.(Edited) Oops . . . just realized I set an alert for Wednesday not Thursday .. . my marathon anxiety is giving me brain fog!!
Some character stop and course entertainment signage is starting to show up! Stolen from a FB group:

ME too!Good luck everybody running in the Marathon weekend!!! I have an acute case of FOMO!!!
I will be stalking this thread and participating vicariously through your posts and pictures!
Edit: It looks like great weather, too!!
I will say that the Houston flight (where I was connecting through) had its flight info come through before my first leg… smaller airports don’t need as much time???I also set up a flight alert. I got an alert that our ATL-MCO leg has a flight plan submitted. Haven't seen an alert for our outgoing from our hometown to ATL but I may have been too late on setting it up to get it since we fly out at 6 am tomorrow.
I was feeling ok about my 6 am flight tomorrow until reading about all the canceled flights. So far this flight hasn't been canceled in the last week and no snow forecasted until later in the day tomorrow. But now I'm 2nd guessing my decision to travel the day before Dopey starts. Oh well, I guess there is nothing I can do at this point but hope. There isn't really any earlier flight that works.
Quick question about Memory Maker and the race photos. You need a code off the back of the bib, right? Not just your bib number? A friend is sharing their memory maker with me and I'm already added as a friend in MDE. They asked me how they link the bibs now that we have the numbers but I thought we needed more than just the bib numbers to link for race pictures. I did this once in 2018 but totally forgot.
