Washington Post wants to talk to stranded passengers
help!!! i'm a reporter looking for passengers who may have recently been
stranded at an airport and went into one of those little shops at the airport to buy cheap t-shirts, mouthwash or whatever. want to find out what you did in your time of waiting for a flight. want to know if you've traveled a lot recently and noticed more stores trying to make a buck off
stranded people by staying open later or opening up earlier.
Please tell me your stranded story. thanks,
Dana Hedgpeth

Airline hassles are clearly a big media attraction at present.
Someone from the Wall Street Journal contacted me today based on a posting in another thread.

In the meantime I got contacted too by a WSJ travel reporter. Have not time to answer because I am off to an UA (adventure) trip to Europe.
Keep my fingers crossed: sofar this week my first, domestic flight was cancelled 1x and delayed 2x by more than 3 hours. 3 out of 6 I would have missed my transatlantic connection.
