Reply #10: I didn't read the full story at link, but this clip leaves out important details.

First of all, there were several such flights, not just this particular Jet Blue flight. They were diverted to Bradley because of what is being called "infrastructure problems" at NY's JFK. I have yet to hear what those problems were. Next, and quite significant, is that the flights had the unfortunate bad luck of being diverted to an airport in the midst of a freak October snowstorm which has left nearly a million CT residents without power -- the power reportedly went out twice at Bradley while the plane was waiting on the tarmac. Bradley is a small airport, deemed "International" because it flies to Canada (and I think there is one flight to Amsterdam). So when the people were finally allowed to deplane, all of the food services in terminal were closed for the evening. I fly in/out of Bradley all the time....it is truly weird to get off your plane at night to a "closed" airport. Anyway, not sure if the story even covers any of that, but I just thought it was worth noting it's not merely another Jet Blue sucks story.
