I would fly into the city I needed to be in, and I would have booked my flight for 1-2 days before and 1-2 days after the event. Yes you may pay more, but you would have been there for your son. Again, conference calls, and the maintaince department is responsible for ensuring that the aircraft is airworthy before a single passenger is boarded. I actually bought 2 round trip tickets on US Airways for the end of July. I have flown US Airways many times and only had 1 mechanical issue on a flight leaving FLL for CLT.
