PASSENGERS were forced to ration food after what was supposed to be a direct flight from LA to New York turned into a 16-hour nightmare.

Before finally arriving at their destination, the passengers of Virgin America Flight 404 had been stranded on a tarmac for seven hours and forced to ride a bus for another two-and-a-half hours.

Sounds like a holiday jaunt to me. Those snacks look absolutely scrummy and their time on the tarmac could have been spent happily engaged in aeroplane spotting competitions. Bus rides can be made enjoyable by singing all the old favourite songs such as "She'll be coming round the mountain" etc...and "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when...". In my aircrew years, we did not have scrummy 'Pringles'...if we were lucky, the 'hosties would hurl a few dry crusts of bread and dripping into the cockpit (known a the 'Piranah Pit') and disdainfully order us not to bother them and just play with our toys....but they were grand times troops!
