I'm staying in San Juan, Puerto Rico on vacation with my family. We were planning to take a Delta flight tomorrow (Sun, Jan 4) (connecting through Minneapolis). My Stanford quarter starts on Mon, Jan 5.
But now after the Venezuela airstrikes, the Caribbean airspace is temporarily closed. We don't know what we're going to do.
Delta's website is currently saying rebooked travel should begin no later than Fri, Jan 9. But who knows? This might change.
We're open to alternative itineraries if you have any ideas! We have some willingness to spend money to get home earlier. Unfortunately we don't have our passports, so we can't go through other countries.
Resolves based on the day when I get either to my family's home or college dorm in the San Francisco Bay Area. Note that to match the common perception of day, days will end "AOE" (at 4am Pacific Time). Thus, if we end up taking the original flight scheduled to arrive at SFO around midnight, that would likely count as "Sun, Jan 4" even if the California time is technically "Mon, Jan 5."
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

Mood is optimistic, but not definite.
Delta still says “on time” for our flight
Guy in Puerto Rico said he thought we would make our flight tomorrow (apparently Maduro was briefly in PR but is now on the east coast?)
I looked on flightradar24 and saw a few flights from US airlines headed for Santo Domingo
Secondhand anecdote of someone in JFK seeing a flight leave for San Juan (couldn’t find this on flightradar24 though)
@Conflux According to the Delta app, the flight tomorrow does not display as cancelled. Is this option underrated?
@Conflux Oh also, when we called Delta, they didn’t rebook us bc they were like “it’s not showing as cancelled”
