A friend was affected by a cancellation on the JFK a couple of weeks ago and was rebooked via DUB the following day with a hefty layover, so would assume the VS was full if usual practice is to use...

As someone who has previously regularly holidayed to various parts of the US, this is certainly a major issue for me. We cancelled a trip to the South/Midwest in the spring due to cost of hotels and...

I suspect the cost has been a significant factor. Vegas has become a pretty expensive destination - and even more so for Brits with the exchange rate situation last year. I can attest from previous...

This is a very odd criticism. The reason for the timeline should be obvious.

If they'd have closed the existing T2 and done the renovation works to that in parallel with building the new T2 - yes,...

Yes, absolutely dire towards the end. I recall they tried to salvage things by putting a 787 on the ORD route, but they'd burned through far too much goodwill by then.

I don't think wait times at security have been the cause of any significant delays for some weeks now. The main issue now is ground handling.

It's been another bad couple of days for passengers. Over an hour and a half to get through security in T1 last night, and just as bad in T2 this morning with queues back into check-in.
