Passengers endure 18-hour delay for Delta 975 out of New York: 'It's literally been hell.'
Flight 975 finally went wheels up at 10:01 a.m. Thursday and Delta blamed weather for the monster delay.
"Delta apologizes to customers on Flight 975 operating from NY-JFK to Los Angeles, which was delayed last night due to weather in New York," Delta said in a statement."Customers were offered water and snacks, pillows and blankets in the terminal, and the flight departed at approximately 10am for Los Angeles this morning."
But FlightAware Vice President Matt Davis said there were no weather conditions out of JFK on Wednesday that would have forced significant delays or cancellations. "From what I’m seeing out of yesterday, there was nothing out of the ordinary at JFK," Davis told NBC News. In 18 hours, a traveler from New York could get to Hong Kong or fit in three one-way flights to and from the West Coast.Shamar Walters is a New York City-based journalist for NBC News.
