Why did my flight go in a circle?
I happened to look out the window today on B6 1232 LGA-BOS and had a moment of "where the heck are we" until I realized we were over RI in the Newport area. And then we started turning, and so I kept watching.... We were turning and turning and turning and.... basically did a 360 degree turn and then continued on to Boston . Here's a screenshot of the flight path from FlightAware. I wanted to ask the pilots but didn't get a chance. Does anyone know why?
