Hi everyone, thought maybe someone could help me figure out a plan of action for my flight that’s in 5 hours or so:<\/p>\n

I’m flying back home to the United States from Romania, via Qatar Airways. Leg #1 is from Bucharest to Doha, and leg #2 is from Doha to NY. Leg 1 is fine, but I just got an email that leg #2 is delayed from 1 AM to 11 AM!<\/p>\n

Here’s the other thing: leg #2 is an American Airlines flight IN COLLABORATION with Qatar Airways. Apparently, there is some partnership with those companies. So I’m not sure how\/whether that changes anything.<\/p>\n

What should I do? I’ve never had a flight delayed before, let alone for 10 hours:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Should I request a different flight at the airport?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Should I proceed with the flight and try to get some compensation for a hotel room\/food and just do the 11 AM flight? I’m not sure if they will compensate me since technically 1 AM to 11 AM is the same day (ridiculous, I know), so they may not consider it a “day delay.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Will I still need to check-in at the original 1 AM time? Seems ridiculous that I’ll have to check in and then figure out a way to remain for 10 hours after that – can I sleep or will there be a chance the flight gets un-delayed and leaves me stranded?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If anyone has any tips\/experience, I would please love to know! Unfortunately, the delay isn’t in the section of the trip departing from the EU, so I won’t be eligible for the 600 Euro thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
