[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends just got back from Greece. Their flight in Athens was cancelled to due an equipment issue. They spent the night  in Athens & were offered flights connecting through two European airports or a non stop to JFK. As screwed up as everything is, they figured getting their feet on US soil was a good thing (they were headed half across the country, but they could drive from there, if absolutely necessary). At JFK, there was a storm delay, and then their crew “timed out” so they ended up spending the night in chairs at JFK.

The problem is a lack of backup crews and equipment. There used to be crews and equipment in standby at major airports, but that doesn’t exist anymore. [/quote]
Why couldn’t they book a hotel near JFK?[/quote]
There may not have been time.  Our 8 PM flight was delayed and delayed before being canceled around 12:30 AM.  By the time we were rebooked it was 2 AM (massive line).  Our flight out was at 5 AM.  By the time we'd gotten to a hotel it would have been time to come back.[/quote]

This is the worst! I am sorry this happened. I am taking a 9:30 pm flight in a month (connecting from another flight) and will probably ask to be rebooked on a way later flight if something like this happens… and get some rest before [/quote]
