This may be a stupid question but why, when the OP was rebooked on AA for JFK-LHR, did the airline agents not rebook the return flight as well?
Would the aircraft be considered as Kuwaiti territory when over international waters? If Israeli citizens are not permitted to enter Kuwait, does this extend to the aircraft? If an Israeli citizen is born on board a Kuwait flight over the Atlantic, would Kuwait be obliged to issue a birth certificate?
