We flew with Delta Airlines from Jacksonville to New York City. As a new rule in force from 2009, all pay 15 usd for the first luggage to be checked into. The next luggage cost 25 usd. It is an expensive extra cost, as we all must remember to count into the price unless you can take his baggage as hand luggage - maxi. 18 kg. It was a small plane, we were with. We arrived on time, but after 1.5 hour flight was announced over loudspeakers that we had problems with their wings, which would cause a problem on landing. The plane had to be diverted and land in JFK airport instead of La Guardia. JFK has longer runways, which were required to get the plane safely down. The braking mechanisms on the wings do not work, why the plane would land at full speed. Fire trucks and ambulances would be waiting on the runway, announced stewardess. In 45 minutes we showed not know how this flight would end. We read the safety instructions, so we were ready for a hard landing. Superfluous cabin was tucked away. People tense belt extra tight. Thankfully the plane landed without major problems. We landed with high speed and it took some extra time on the plane coming down in speed, but we ended well. There was no need for fire engines or ambulances. We were greeted by security personnel who followed us to our baggage. They had arranged a bus from JFK airport to La Guardia that would take people the last paragraph. JFK is closer to Manhattan than La Guardia, so we jumped on the bus and took the subway instead of - 7 usd into Manhattan. We were once shocked but also relieved that the experience was over. People on the Irish pub Molly Wee could easily remember Danes from New Years Eve. Its nice to round holiday of the New York City, where we started.
