LaGuardia Airport Closed Until 7PM, Expect Delays Elsewhere
As if the weather on the East Coast wasn't bad enough (sorry, I can't relate, it's 70 and sunny here in Southern California), it looks like you can expect even more travel delays in the NYC area today.
A Delta MD-80 skidded off the runway at LaGuardia Airport. Fortunately there were no injuries, though LaGuardia Airport is shut down until at least 7PM today.
So if you're supposed to fly into or out of LaGuardia Airport today, or any other NYC-area airport, for that matter, you may want to check your flight status.

Review: American Airlines First Class 777-300ER London To New York
I was really excited to finally fly American's new first class for the first time. I've flown their new 777-300ER business class many times, including the following routes:
-- Hong Kong to Dallas
-- Dallas To Hong Kong
-- Sao Paulo to New York
-- New York to Sao Paulo
-- London to New York
-- New York to London
I've been extremely impressed by the new product, so was very excited to try out their new first class, given that it never really looked that much better to me than their new business class product.
