Apparently not when you’re flying Jet Blue. My 11:15 AM flight from JAX to JFK hadn’t even left the tarmac in JAX by the time it was supposed to land in JFK at 1:15 PM. I thought a 6 hour layover would leave me bored, tired of window shopping, weary of sitting around, sick of the novel I was reading, chewing my cuticles, and babbling incessantly with perfect strangers. Normally it would. Passengers trapped in their seats around me were getting cranky. At 2:00 they deplaned us. At 2:30 I was dialing the concierge service at Allianz insurance to try to get another flight to JFK so I could get my Delta flight to Rome at 7:30 when JetBlue reboarded us
and finally took to the skies. We landed at JFK, and it took ANOTHER nail biting hour to get my luggage, so I made it to the gate just as they were finishing boarding for Delta #152 to Rome. I was just a little stressed. From here on, I fly in the day BEFORE, like I tell my clients to do.
It all ended well, I surprised my nephew Brady on the flight, we flew over together, and met Liam in Civitavecchia. It’s so good to be traveling with my boys! Let the games begin!
