American Airlines Passengers Delayed for 24 Hours Tried to Get Hamilton Tickets for Compensation
Instead, all they got was pizza
OCTOBER 30, 2017
Pizza makes everybody happy, right?
In order to pacify almost 300 passengers during their two unscheduled diversions, American Airlines fed everybody a slice of pizza.
After flight crew aboard an American Airlines flight from Milan to Miami on Saturday noticed a crack in the windshield, they made an emergency diversion to Stephenville Airport in Newfoundland, Canada.
While the aircraft was taken out of service for repairs, the airline had a two-part plan. One: fly an alternate plane up to Newfoundland to collect the 287 passengers. And two: feed them pizza.
After eating pizza at Stephenville Airport, passengers boarded an alternate plane 10 hours later. However, instead of flying down to Miami, the plane went to New York’s JFK airport. A spokesperson for the airline told Travel + Leisure that due to crew time and customs availability, they were unable to fly the passengers directly from Canada to Miami.
One commenter on AVHerald.com who claimed to be a passenger onboard the flight said that although the “flight crew was awesome and professional,” they were frustrated to have a second unscheduled stop. He “suggested AA could make it up to passengers with Hamilton tickets. Unfortunately they decided a slice of pizza was a better customer service gift.”
But all the Broadway shows were long over by the time passengers reached New York at 11:50 p.m. on Saturday night. Passengers spent less than 12 hours there and took off from JFK Airport at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. They arrived in Miami around 1:45 p.m., about 24 hours after their original landing time.

I suppose that it depends
I suppose that it depends upon the Quality and Warmth of the Pizza slices.
Are these Newfoundland-grade Pizzas, or the Bountiful JFK Slices, which every World-Traveller enjoys ??

Hüsky is actually quite
Hüsky is actually quite Selective regarding a taste of Pizza crust.
however, he is quite comfortable with the Local Slice choices, and will Steal your Slice right off the dash.
Today we had one slice of "Grandma" and he ate the crust, which was perfection. It's not an actual Hu-person Grandmother, rather a style of Pizza.
