Back Home

Since there were no delays, canceled flights or lost luggage on my way to Sweden, I should have expected a not so smooth return trip.
The flight from Helsinki, Finland to New York was delayed because of the extra security they had put in after the dude was trying to blow himself up on the KLM flight. They managed to make up some time in the air but it wasn’t quite enough. We landed at 4:40pm and my flight out was at 5:15pm, I was still in hope that I would be able to get my bags and clear customs in time, but when they at 5:15pm announced that they couldn’t open the department in the plane which my bags were in I realized I had a long night in front of me. I missed the flight.
I was put on the next flight that was supposed to leave at 7:10pm, it departed at 7:40pm and I fell asleep right away. I woke up a couple of hours later by the pilot announcing there were something wrong with the plane and we were to return to JFK where a new plane was waiting for us. We took off from New York at midnight, one hour after I was supposed to have been back in Los Angeles.
I was home by 4am, about 33 hours door to door.
