Did she go standby or try to get a confirmed seat?

5 suitcases?
What didnīt she want to change?
I think one of the things that helped me was that the fact that I had no checked luggage, just a 22" Tumi Alpha Frequent Traveler and the Tumi Alpha T-Pass case. I was therefore able to remain airside as I didnīt have to reclaim any luggage (I would say 99% of all pax had to go reclaim luggage after all of the flights returned to the gate when JFK closed).
