I just flew in from Tokyo last night (NRT) bound for San Diego International (SAN). Our plane circled LAX (not on the flight path) three times before we landed there instead of SAN.
We were stuck on the tarmac for an hour and a half and only told that our plane was "diverted for weather conditions". San Diego was experiencing another WARM and CLEAR day.
When we did land in SAN, the lines were out the door, an outage? Anyone know what went down? I would investigate now but I'm heading into work!
Here's the flight from yesterday, probably doxxing myself. JL66 (Japan Airlines); codeshare with AA (American Airlines).
Thanks anons and god bless everyone!
