We once flew to Orlando on Dec. 26th. We flew out of an airport that only has one airline, Pan Am.
We had to make an emergency landing in Raliegh/Durham and the airport there was NUTS!!!! The lines for food were 45 minutes long, and the airport ran out of food because it was so busy by 5pm.
When we took off, we had to wait about 20 minutes to take off, because there were so many planes ahead of us...and that was at 8:30pm!
Also, we had to circle Boston for over 30 minutes, because there was no room for us in the sky to procede any further!
I say fly a different day if it's possible....
