I am sorry there is no picture to go with this post, but I just needed to share the insanity that I have witnessed today at JFK airport! My flight to Dulles (Wash DC), which was supposed to connect to a Paris flight, took off, flew to Washington DC, and then had to turn around because there were storms and they didn't have enough fuel to sit in a holding pattern! So after a very long, protracted flight back, I stood in line with a bunch of very bitchy, very INSANE customers.
It took forever for me to get to the front of the line. There were people who didn't speak English, people who seemed not to comprehend anything about airlines, baggage, gates, etc., and one guy who was loudly hassling the poor gate agents. Having sat there for an hour listening to them tell others that they needed to go to the baggage claim, get their bags, go to the other terminal and check in at the other airline, the guy then needed to WRITE DOWN those instructions. Now there is a hysterical lady at my gate asking to get on a plane that's about to leave.
I am calmly laptopping and reading. I am checked in for a flight at 10.50pm. Hopefully all goes well.
