48 Hours: JFK to MUC
In good weather, the flight from New York (JFK) to Munich via London can take as little as 12 hours. In bad weather, the trip can stretch to perhaps 15 or 20 hours. But the storm that last week buried much of the East Coast of the United States in a blanket of snow shut down major airports, closed thousands of businesses, and left tens of thousands of people stranded at places other where they wanted to be.
In my particular case, the storm, which set new records in many areas, took the 12-hour trip to London and turned it into a 48-hour marathon journey.

Well over 50% of BMW new car production is comprised of diesel autos.
Well, I hope so
Mine is on its way...

5 suitcases?
What didn´t she want to change?I think one of the things that helped me was that the fact that I had no checked luggage, just a 22" Tumi Alpha Frequent Traveler and the Tumi Alpha T-Pass case. I was therefore able to remain airside as I didn´t have to reclaim any luggage (I would say 99% of all pax had to go reclaim luggage after all of the flights returned to the gate when JFK closed).
