Disastrous Flight Delays - JFC-ers share their stories

Hey there, JFC-ers!

In today’s edition, I’m indulging in a favourite pastime — moaning. Moaning about the weather, airlines, delays, and a lack of sleep. 

However, my complaining pales in comparison to that of the passenger on American Airlines who this week was so miffed about his in-flight meal options that he attempted to force his way into the cockpit! No doubt my ranting also falls short of the choice words other passengers on board that flight must have had when their plane turned around and landed back at JFK at 3am.

Likewise, it seems that the passengers who were turfed out of business class in favour of the cabin crew on an Air India flight have had plenty of thoughts to share this week.

The good news is, readers, if you make it through all these tales of woe at 38,000 ft, you’ll be rewarded with enough Greek island inspiration to make you forget the potential drama involved in your journey!

Happy travels and safe landings,

Katy - Editor of The Detour
