Michigan Anon here. Family member from N.C. due in last night at 10:30pm, arrived near 2am. Plane was near GRapids MI airport and routed back out to Dayton OH. Passengers were held there for hours, not allowed to leave specified area. Bags were brought to them in closed off area. Headcounts were taken. Very odd situation. Just wanted to share as I have been reading about all the odd flight/travel things being discussed thruout various breads tonight. People at the G.Rapids airport for arrivals were told one-thing, passengers were told they were unable to land 'due to ice' which was not present or valid reason. MANY flights came and left all evening. Odd happenings to say the least.

Weather fine. Maybe airline covering ass?? Why hold passengers in secure area? Fishy. According to brother-n-law stewardess indicated that 'head counts were off', and he and other passengers felt confident someone was being looked for. Why re-route that far away? Lansing MI, Kalamazoo, Detroit - they went to Dayton OH.
