Hopefully today goes better than yesterday. Missed 2 flights yesterday and stranded several hundred miles from where I was supposed to be.
Today, I'll miss another 2 flights - making 2 tickets needing rebooking

I'm at LAX but they don't let us off the plane. All computers at immigration are down. Several a/c can't disembark. This will take hour. At least the APU is working, so we have AC and laptop power. It's bearable in F. They'll soon load some beverages.

Shortage of Immigration agents ?

I was stuck on an SQ flight a couple of years ago at LAX when the immigration hall was overloaded - 2 hour wait (in F)
. After we disembarked another 2 hours wait at Tom Bradley International terminal INS (felt like a Y experience)

It's 2 hours now, and we are still onboard. A/C has been refuled in the meantime, and I got some water. Due to U.S. customs, we cannot open our own stuff in the galley, as it had to be sealed before landing. Y is like Guantamo. At least the APU is working. Since we are only 4 pax in F, it's bearable.

Any word on aircraft being diverted as they surely must be running out of space at LAX ?
