Brand new LY Dreamliner now on the ground in London for repairs to a broken window - http://m.ynet.co.il/Articles/5029435

This must be the reason for cancelling LY27 and rescheduling it for tomorrow 930

2nd flight - first flight was yesterday. Now, lets vote - plane broke now, option 1 put back on the 2nd day of 787 service that many people are looking out a 777 - or delay the flight so the plane that is flying out of NY can do the flight back?

I specifically wrote "this aircraft". Yesterday's flight was another aircraft, which just departed from Newark 8 minutes ago (seems like you're on board that flight....)
If we get a response from you in the next 9 hrs, then we'll know that the Wi-Fi on these planes are working....

Did she really shell out $4452 for a one way ticket? Is she nuts or a liar? There are plenty of cheaper options even when there's no award space
