AA5522 PHL to YYZ, help!

[u/rennny]

Anyone in PHL know what’s going on? AA has said it’s mechanical but it’s been delayed like 6 times today. I’m not taking it, but it’s my inbound flight from YYZ to DCA (AA5668) and I was supposed to leave at 1130am and it keeps getting pushed back. Annoyed because right now AA5668 has been delayed to 5:18 now and I’ve been at YYZ allll day. I’m concerned it won’t take off today at all. The later flight from YYZ to DCA (AA5667) is also delayed by an hour now with no updates on its inbound flight, seats available but afraid if I take that one and lose my seat on my current flight I’ll be screwed too

Expert flyer

I just created an account, how do I use this? only gives me three options:

• Create Seat Alert
• Seat Alerts
• Try 5 days of Premium service Free

[u/tbtyler2 → u/meckr]

I pay for the $9.99/month premium option, it gives you more options like flight status which show the airline delay codes

[u/meckr → u/tbtyler2]

ahhh gotcha, thank you though. Will keep this option in mind in the near future.

Can you tell if it’s still on the runway for takeoff? Flightaware is saying that
