Hello Family & Friends of the JA2B-CHI Delegation,

You all have heard most of this by now via email from us or phone calls/texts from your student but we just want to leave this info in as many places as possible.

Due to weather in the Northeast, the group flight from Newark<>Chicago tonight (July 9th) was cancelled. We were able to work with United to rebook the group for a flight on Tuesday morning. This was the earliest we could get the group home since weather issues are supposed to continue tomorrow morning and flights tomorrow were fully booked due to other cancellations.

The updated flight info is below and in the portal accounts:

Tuesday, 7/11 Flight #UA 1796 leaving Newark (EWR) at 10:23am ET.   Arriving Chicago (ORD) at 11:58am CT

If we are able to get any earlier flights tomorrow for some of the group we will do that and communicate with you as quickly as possible.

Tonight the group has already arrived at their hotel only a couple miles from the airport and is enjoying pizza and getting settled into their rooms. Tomorrow’s activities are still TBD depending on weather and flight availability but the group may be able to visit NYC or they will be able to hang out at a mall/movie theater right next to the hotel.

We sincerely appreciate the resilience of this excellent group (with their tremendous GGLs!) and to all of you who we know want to see your student as soon as possible!
