Chilled!

Bealine,

Maybe you need to relocate to JFK! I pitched up there on Thursday evening for my flight back to LHR to be told that there were no outbound flights after about 1800 until the afternoon of the 31st due to no planes inbound. I know, should have checked before setting off for JFK!

Nonetheless, I saw no-one having a paddy. The ground staff were doing their best to push people onto available seats on AA and I can honestly say that the pax just dealt with it. Extra tables were set up for reticketing, and the queues moved quite quickly. Remarkable really. The nice lady at the counter went off for a few minutes when I cheekily asked if I could get a double upgrade to BA2 on the 31st, then came back and said "yes". Excellent.

Must remember to pre-book a blizzard next time I fly out there ...
