Fresno to SFO to Reno. I am an idiot; it is only a 5 hour drive. 10/10 should have driven.
[URGENT UPDATE]
Delayed. No hope of making connection. Refund and drive?
PART II
Indefinite delay announced
FINAL UPDATE
I got rebooked and am on the plane.

Do you know what kind of plane you will be flying in?

On the other hand, that drive over the Sierra Nevada can turn from scenic to impossible very quickly this time of year...

But you could get caught out in a snow storm on I80 or HWY 50.

Yes, you should have. Look around for something to review for us. I once revi ewed my headphones and charging cord on a layover in Minneapolis.

Look at the bright side, you would have never been able to get home if your return trip is Friday or Saturday. Mammoth is supposed to get 3-4 feet of snow by Friday so I imagine 395 would be a shit show if you were trying to get someplace in a hurry, especially those first couple of hours from Reno to Bishop. I guess you could also be taking the 5/80 which would be safer but still definitely expecting some winter conditions all around. Unless you were really looking to test out the winter capabilities of your GTI lol.

Yes refund and drive -or-
Also maybe
Oakland to reno via SWA? I’ve done that flight before it’s like 45 minutes. Just depends on how fast you can get to Oakland.

Can you get something fun and exciting for the drive? Nothing thrills like a base level Sentra.

Southwest has flights from oakland.

The snow in forecast is still concerning. Can you steal the kiddo’s subbie for the trip?

Granted, I’d be buying for 5, but we rarely fly unless it’s more than 12 hours (about what it takes us to get to Destin for spring break).
And I just like road trips, anyway. We did a 5000+ mile trip out your way just this summer!
That said, mountain passes in winter can be deadly...

Hmmm... indefinite delay? I would get a refund and then go back to the car and start driving.

Road trip! Drive over 80 now while it’s an option, then come back down 395 & over 178 the long, long way for “fun” if Donner is impassable by then. Tioga is closed already, I’m sure.
Edit, just saw the FINAL UPDATE. Fly safe, road trip another time.

“ FINAL UPDATE

Well I’m disappointed. I was looking forward to reading about your road trip!
