Happy birthday!!!Take rest and enjoy your day!!! I have had a similar experience. In 2003, i was supposed to take 8PM flight out from JFK to London.I started from my location around 2 PM (2 hr drive to airport).I was stuck in the JFK airport traffic due to road work and accident and reached by 7:30 PM.I thought I missed my flight but somehow there was a delay in take off and got in..The worst part stuck in traffic not able to do basic things for almost 5 hrs!!!
