welp, managed to go a whole year without a major airline snafu until my last work trip of the year. Flight from Miami to Portland was cancelled, and all the other options from Miami were bad. So I'm taking the Brightline train to Orlando and getting on a direct flight to Portland tonight!

@aaronpk hey, not too bad as far as travel snafus, go. Still annoying and inconvenient, but an impressive streak nevertheless!
What's the delta between your final arrival time and the original? And did the airline cover the cost of the alternative arrangements?
I will withhold judgment on that until I get home. Original flight was going to land at 2pm, now I get back at 10pm. They won't cover the train because that was my choice but I am more interested in a train and long flight than two shorter flights. -

well I made it to Orlando with plenty of time to spare! Full writeup of the high-speed train experience is coming shortly. Now I just have to cross my fingers that the next flight actually takes off. -

I took the High-Speed Brightline Train from Miami to Orlando with only two hours notice
It was 11am at the Fort Lauderdale airport, an hour after my non-stop flight to Portland was supposed to have boarded. As I had been watching our estimated departure get pushed back in 15 minute increments, I finally received the dreaded news over the loudspeaker - the flight was cancelled entirely. As hordes of people started lining up to rebook their flights with the gate agent, I found a quiet spot in the corner and opened up my laptop to look at my options.continue reading... -

@aaronpk Sigh. The bit about the tracks depressed me. The Talgo trains Amtrak Cascades uses are designed to run just as fast as the Siemens trains Brightline uses. But track conditions don't allow it.
I mean, all the amenities you describe are very nice, but having trains that fast would be life-changing for of lot of people in the PNW, even if you had to dine on stale crackers.
I totally agree! The only reason I don't often take the train to Seattle is because it might be a 3 hour trip or it might be a 5 hour trip. If the passenger trains weren't at the mercy of the freight train schedule it would be a different story. -
