Glad you were able to rebook. Now let's hope your Groundhog Day flight doesn't get grounded by more snow.
Anil February 1, 2011 at 6:59pm

As of now I am rebooked for Feb 2nd. I think this Skyteam folks panicked and cancelled all flights out of JFK/EWR to Amsterdam & CDG or so I notice on expertflyer flightstats.

Sam: Dont do facebook, and I doubt DL offers it on international leg. The provider is gogoinflight. I know that Google had sponsored free wifi in December on all DL flights that were wifi enabled.

Anil, let's take the glass-is-half-full view. Delta has cancelled flights, but it's offering free in-flight Facebook connections.
Anil February 1, 2011 at 7:45am

As of now, Delta, KLM & Air France all show cancellations out of JFK for Tuesday 1st Feb :(
Anil January 31, 2011 at 11:17pm

Another snowstorm and another nightmare. This season has been miserable. Delta yet again proactively cancelled an international flight from JFK to Amsterdam, while one to Heathrow is still on - Go figure. Now I have to scramble.

What's more gutsy -- an Indian government banning the smuggling of tiger parts, or Ryan Air charging over $50 for a boarding pass? I don't ask this to be facetious, either.
Anil January 25, 2011 at 5:21pm

According to this newspaper in India , the Environment & Forest Minister in India, wants to revoke licenses of two private airlines who are indulging in smuggling of endangered species including tiger parts. That is a gutsy move if it succeeds.
Anil January 25, 2011 at 5:15pm

Ryan Air is nuts.
Charlie Leocha January 25, 2011 at 3:44pm

Ed, They are doing it right now. But Spain said it was illegal. Here's my post on ConsumerTraveler.com. http://snipr.com/1wp8ha
Ed Wetschler January 25, 2011 at 3:21pm

If you don't print your own boarding pass, RyanAir wants to charge you 40 pounds ($54). Are they for real -- I mean, would they really follow through on this?
