Commuting out of ORF just got hard. Every JFK bound RJ flight cancelled and half the LGA ones too.

The ol' sleep till you're hungry then eat till you're sleepy QNY program.

And I am still convinced it was a violation of the Geneva Convention to put that damn Cinnabon right by the lounge (closet?) in DCA.
