i was at work today and i was told that the aircraft had to wait for de-icing in Newark and also had a bad slot for depature.
It seems there were weather or other general probs at EWR on Tuesday evening because when I checked last night on the EWR arrivals page over half a dozen returning CO flights from Europe, including the BRS, were showing delays of between three and five hours.
Full marks to CO though. Having been told at BRS that they would be put up overnight and flown on to Miami this morning my son and his family actually made the the last CO direct flight of the day on Wednesday evening from Newark to Miami. He told me they stepped off CO 77 from BRS at 1915 local and boarded the MIA aircraft at 1950. Whether their luggage went with them in so short a transfer time I'm not sure.
santito,
No regular transatlantic charters this winter (there are occasional cruise flights to the Caribbean though). I think the TOM (former FCA) flights to Florida and Mexico resume in the summer.
