Flying high and Airport Lows

Being able to:

a) afford to get on a plane and fly to exotic and ordinary destinations is a privilege

b) actually get into one of the big machines of the sky is a thrill

c) spend time in airports and observe how people from around the world come and go, fight, apologise for being upset/the company that employs them, sleep, pray, cry, laugh, induce a jet-lagged glaze of the eyes and to hear the "SIGH" as people finally get on their plane, is one of the things that makes flying fun

So when your flight to New York gets cancelled and you get to visit two brand new countries (albeit solely the airports at Arlanda and Heathrow) and arrive at your destination almost 24 hours after you were expecting it is, in the end...just fine.
