### Travel News and Highlights from Around the Web
#### 1. **American Airlines Terminal at JFK: A Ghost Town After Hours**
The American Airlines terminal at New York’s JFK Airport often feels deserted, even during peak hours. By 1 a.m., it’s practically lifeless. Nearby hotel options aren’t ideal either. The TWA Hotel, while iconic, often underwhelms for its price, and the Hyatt Regency Resorts World doesn’t offer a shuttle. However, finding a room in New York for $100 is a rare deal.
> **Tweet:**
> *American Airlines delayed a flight by over three hours, diverted to a closed airport, and claimed no hotels were available. To top it off, a representative said they’d only reimburse $100. Passengers were left with pretzels and no further assistance. Absurd experience on flight AA80.*

#### 2. **Upgrading for Comfort… and Unexpected Conversations**
One traveler snagged a $250 upgrade to Premium Economy on their Tokyo (HND) to Dallas (DFW) flight, a steal compared to the $3,700 price for the outbound leg. The perks included better food and a neck pillow—but also an unexpected seatmate who spent the flight trying to convert them.
> *“Missionaries should pay to proselytize you,”* the traveler joked, adding that noise-canceling headphones are a must for such situations.

#### 3. **Delta’s Wheelchair Assistance: Room for Improvement**
Delta Airlines is statistically better than many carriers when it comes to wheelchair assistance, but the overall treatment of passengers with disabilities remains a concern. Outsourcing to low-cost providers often results in subpar service, and the handling of expensive wheelchairs leaves much to be desired.
> **Tweet:**
> *A traveler shared a traumatic experience with Delta, where their wheelchair was damaged, they were dropped, and left stranded when assistance was needed. Traveling during the holidays shouldn’t be this difficult.*

> **Tweet:**
> *“Happening now in SFO’s F Gates lounge. It’s not like people use those tables for food service, right?”*
