We experienced probably the worst yesterday, and the airport staff handled it admirably. Flight 1622 from Miami was delayed 6 hours due to mechanical issues. Those of us waiting to fly out on that plane arrived as recommended, three hours early. We were kept outside until all the other big planes had boarded, as there's just not enough space in the tent for that many people. Our flight eventually departed at10:50; it was scheduled for 5:04. Most passengers handled the delay well, although there were a couple of asshats.
