Ah, the joys of travel when the weather gets bad and air traffic control delays kick in. After a perfectly relaxing Cathay Pacific flight, we go to the American Airlines counter to re-check our bag. While I realized there were some weather issues in New York, I didn't realize so many flights were canceled. While…

A frequent flyer friend of mine flew Delta from ATL to NYC on Saturday. His quote 'I've had the ride of a lifetime'. Many of us have been there done that, but his tone was something I haven't seen before.
Flew MCO-EWR Saturday (3 hrs late). I was treated to a great light-[ning] show for the second hour and a very bumpy descent.
I complimented the pilot on a great landing and he said we were lucky as the winds were quite strong, but right down the runway.
Hope you arrive home with at least a small portion of you still destressed, after such a nice vacation.
I had big delays (roughly 6 hours) last night JFK->SFO on P.S. - sounds like we passed in the night!
@Matt -- My partner and I were on your flight last night. It sure was fun landing at SFO at 4 AM. 🙂 Where were you seated?
I was flying from PBI to EWR yesterday after spending a beautiful weekend in Boca Raton. I was delayed over 4 hours and then got stuck in the taxi ride into Manhattan.
It was my first ever flight on CO, and catering did not load food at EWR due to irregular operations.
@Gene ha! I was in 9D. I'm amazed how many people still got meals on last night's flight.
What a mess though, I'm glad they did proactive compensation.
We were in 1A and1B on an international award ticket. After waiting almost 7 hours in the First Class lounge, where sadly the best food is potato chips, we were ready for dinner, even though it was 2 AM by the time of the service.
The compensation was quite generous. However, I certainly wouldn't voluntarily spend 7 hours waiting with no showers in the RCC after an international flight for $250, but it definitely eases the pain when multiplied by two people.
