Its great to work out all these options ahead of time, but then comes
the day of your flight. There is a 200-mile wide line of thunderstorms
across the route of flight and you wind up going via JOT or SSM. All
the tooth gnashing about where to stop on the direct route is out the
window. Plus you need to leave 45 mins earlier to keep meet your
schedule! :-( Been there, done that ;-) Don't forget to plan for
the unexpected & have a great flight!
