I go both ways on this one but need to tell you of my experience last night.
I was to leave NY at 8pm. I never left until 11pm! BUT I had brought
dinner with me, and another meal in case of a problem and a quickie breakfast
in case we got stuck as this was the last flight out and I had no other
choice when booking. Gluten free meal on the plane did not matter as there
was no plane!!! I ate all but the quickie breakfast food and arrived home at
2am after leaving for the airport at 5pm!!
IF they hadn't scrambled up another plane - I would have been in trouble as
there were no seats on any flights for 3 days - so we must be prepared!
