MARCH 12: My plane is an hour and a half late getting into London’s Heathrow Airport, where I’m to make my connection to my flight to Glasgow. The reason given by American Airlines for the delay is a rather unique one: We’re told that because of prevailing tailwinds, our plane–had it left on time–would have arrived at Heathrow almost an hour early. Therefore (we were told) the order to wait came from London air traffic control.
