I don’t know if the facts back me up – but it seems that there are more flight delays and cancellations since the airline industry has entered the latest hard times. What I do know is that two very cautious family members missed their international connections because of delayed/canceled flights from DC and Detroit. If I am right – this may happen more and more as the industry sinks. SO, allow more time than usual and prepare alternatives, if you really must make an international connection.
Last night – the 5pm Jet Blue flight from Dulles finally made it to NY after midnight.
Last week, my sister-in-law had her Detroit-NY flight just canceled and missed the connection to Israel. She packs a week before, leave the house 5 hours before, gets to the airport 4 hours before and to the gate 2 hours before. She definitely does not deserve to miss a flight.
