This flight from New Zealand had made it all the way to Hawai'i when it got told there was no where to land at JFK.

10+ hours in the air for nothing.

Honestly that would be a reasonable alternative. It has a long runway for the air force so it can accommodate big planes and it's not a very busy airport. Then charter a few buses to get them down to jfk.

TBH, I wouldn't give a shit at that point. I'd be willing to take a train or drive from BOS, PHL, or IAD rather than turn back around

This is what happened to my flight. Diverted to Newark.

Or, the plane became sentient and heard the drums of its Polynesian canoe voyaging forefathers calling it back home towards Tahiti

The last thing the PAX in the back hear before the 777 hits the water at 620kts is "you're welcome"

It trusted Dutch’s plan. The plane just wanted to go to Tuheetee to pick mangoes with the van der Linde gang.

Hate T1, no parking and no airtrain station. The pickup area at T1 is so fucked up with too many traffic.

I use to work in Terminal 1 — this doesn’t shock me. The terminal use to always have electrical issues specially in the bag room, electric stairs and Gates. Even leaks in certain areas of the airport— so embarrassing. But, happy they are finally renovating JFK. It’s definitely long overdue.
