Sleepless in NY

"The Tired, Sleepless Huddled Masses"

I just returned from NY. Got stuck on a plane at LaGuardia runway for more than 4 hours, returned to the gate to refuel only to be told that the flight was canceled. Spent the night sleepless in a freezing lounge without even a blanket (ORD would at least lend you one and a cot). Thank God I'm home. Will be back to normal posting tomorrow. I just need some sleep. Thanks for your patience.

I am very sorry to hear that. ;-(

The same thing happened to me at JFK back in June. 3 hours and 45 minutes on the tarmac starting at 11pm. And all for a 50 minute flight to Rochester!

That sucks. I almost got missed my connection back this weekend from Vegas because of Airport congestion.

As for you seat number, I say 16 C. I am a middle of the road kind of guy.

(sorry you got stuck (that's always bad) and may I say this is a good reason to travel with a pashmina in your bag-- an all-purpose pillow, blanket, shawl, comfort object, etc.)
