A roundabout flight for 405 on Monday

My wife was supposed to fly from BOS to LGB on flight 405 yesterday afternoon, and she called me as they were taxiing "in Long Beach", when I heard the pilot come on the PA to inform everyone that they were actually at the Ontario (CA) airport. Due to fog and fuel issues, and that they would soon figure out how/when they'd get to LGB. Which they hadn't informed the passengers of before landing.

I went to sleep after that, woke up this AM to a message from her that more than an hour later they were hoping to get to LAX, but that was also foggy, so she got off (carryons only) and was able to get a rental car to drive to Long Beach, where she was staying. I looked online and saw they eventually flew to Burbank airport, which is further from LGB than ONT is.

I guess B6 doesn't serve Ontario so they had to get the equipment some place? No idea what they did with the rest of the passengers.

(and for those who remember my last post earlier this year about her experiences on JetBlue, yes, stay off of flights that she is on without me. This is 2 in a row where the plane ended up in the wrong place).
