The first leg of my flights to Spain was scheduled to depart my local airport (in Ontario, California, USA) at 8:30 AM.
At 5:30 AM, the airline called me and said the inbound flight was late so I wasn't going to make my connecting flight in Dallas Texas. They said that, if I could arrive at Ontario by 7 AM, they'd taxi me to John Wayne Airport in Orange County (about 50 miles from Ontario).
At 5:45 AM, the airline called me AGAIN and said that they had a "better option": if I could arrive at Ontario by 7 AM, they'd taxi me to Los Angeles International Airport (about 60 miles from Ontario)
At 6:45 AM, I arrived at Ontario and the airline said they have an "even better option": they were taxiing me to Burbank Airport (about 55 miles from Ontario).
I arrived at Burbank Airport about 8 AM and I landed in Madrid two hours earlier than my original flight schedule.
====================
At the end of my Spain tour, my flight was scheduled to leave Madrid at 10 AM. Because of the lateness of my flight, the 50-seat coach from the Madrid hotel to the airport contained only the driver, the tour director and me.
