Looking at flightradar, it appears that on July 25th, DL 332 from LAX to JFK got diverted to RDU. This seems oddly strange because from where they were over Iowa approaching Illinois, New York was probably closer than North Carolina. And if they couldn't land in New York, there were lots of places c...

Jump to postIs your layover at night or during the day? You can take a few hours to explore NYC if your layover is during the day, it would cost less than $20 for a round trip to Manhattan via AirTrain and Subway.
