Well, here I am at JFK, where I have been since 11:00. When I arrived my flight was already delayed twenty minutes. While I looked at the departure board that turned into forty-five minutes. Then we were told that our plane, which was coming from Tampa would be on the ground at one-thirty and we'd be out of here at 2:15. At one-thirty we were told that our plane was, in fact, here, but circling - for another hour. We'd had a little rain and thunderstorm that lasted approximately thirty minutes - by 1:30 it was completely over and the ground was already dry. At two o'clock we were told that our plane had now been diverted to Atlantic City, New Jersey, so it could refuel - with no new estimated time of departure. A lot of very angry people here - I overheard that JFK was not letting planes in or out. I really think a class action lawsuit against this airport is in order - no other airport in the bloody United States has these problems.
I went and got a sandwich (terrible) and a Diet Pepsi (equally terrible) and was finally able to get online in the food court here. So, I have no clew as to what will happen - you can't even get through to JetBlue via telephone. I really don't want to come back into the city and then come back out here tomorrow. I have no idea if the four-thirty to Burbank is sold out or what, or if there's a later flight. I also don't really want to spend the night here at JFK. It's a mess, and there's no storm, no rain, no nothing. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I'll get out here.
