Not content with an overnight stay at MIA, daughter got re-routed via BOS and found that a certain airline had a penchant for being late whichever flight she was booked on. Her re-booked flight was already running late when MIA was closed because of bad weather. Consequently she missed her connection at BOS and had to be re-booked on yet another flight. This re-booked, re-booked flight was late leaving the gate, but got airborne...just.. had an engine prob on take-off and made a rapid return to the ground where a further delay ensued. She eventually arrived in the UK some 3 and a half days after starting her journey having worked out that if she has to fly via the US again, then she needs to allow some 4 - 6 hours between flights to allow for flight delays and TSA
antics. She had no complaints about the customer service from this particular airline, but its operating performance means it wont be getting a Xmas card this year.
I noticed that there was no mention in the local press of her flight's emergency landing back at BOS, so I assume that engine failures during take-off are fairly commonplace and not news worthy.
