So the truth is, while I was on the plane the only thing I was thinking about was if I was going to survive the flight and live another day (seriously). I was not thinking about how i'm gana keep Shabbos in a few hours.  While on the phone with my father while in PHL, he was trying to get in touch with R' Dovid Feinstein.  I was not able to hear anything from him due to the guy taking the phone away.  So I was left with knowing nothing.

When we got to airport the worker said we cant take the train.  I said ok.

The Halachik issues that I was aware of were the doors, toilets, and sinks which were all electric...Which I tried my hardest to avoid.  And the fact my wife did not light which was ok due to these circumstances (wasnt like she forgot to light).

When I got home I was told that R' Feinstein paskened that I was not able to walk out of the airport because of קונה שביתה.  I'm not sure what the exact psak about using the train was.  I thought I was told when I got home I was able to use it but maybe he thought it was inside the airport (?).

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Wow this story is so crazy. I am just imagining my wife and I camping out in JFK for a whole Shabbos and I truly cannot even imagine what that would be like, especially after a crazy flight.

wow crazy stuff! I was actually on the first flight to Israel after 9/11 was in the airport for over 20hrs so I know how boring and painful it can be even during the week, but over shabbos - I can't even imagine how tough that is

As crazy as this sounds...the flight was worse for me than Shabbos. Like I mentioned, it might of been the first time in my life I truly did not think I was goong to make it. It was like the plane was flying through a hurricane and you can really feel the plane moving back and forth.

If this happened to me, I seriously wonder if my wife would ever agree to another trip.

Not really.  I've flown many times after that.  Now when I feel turbulence it doesn't really bother me at all after the turbulence I experienced in that trip.
