My most fun was a flight to a work-related conference in New Orleans. Booked flights to arrive the day before, planning a lazy start the next day prior to the afternoon conference start.
I got to L.A. OK but thunderstorms in Dallas (my ticketed hub change) meant a delay which stretched to 12 hours (rather than the expected 4), cancelled flights, an unplanned diversion to Miami, 9 hours sitting there (in the middle of the night with nothing open in a terminal being rebuilt, familiar!?) then back to New Orleans.
Could have been worse, at one stage I was going via San Francisco, Washington DC & Orlando... or not till Saturday when the conference was over!
I finally got to the hotel at 14:00, the conference started at 15:00!
Ah! If it was Singapore, I would've gone down the giant slide, had my feet nibbled by fish, ordered a beautiful vegan burger and probably found some other wild entertainment, all in the first four hours!

No hot chips available after 4pm is madness. If only it was Singapore Airport

Oh no one told me about the slide!
The glamour of travel!
I know, right! We are so lucky to get around the way we do, but sometimes there's a link in the chain missing...
