by Oscar

Passengers on a Hawaiian Airlines flight bound for Honolulu had to wait nearly 33 hours at New York airport gates on Tuesday after their plane was grounded with a mechanical problem – before being given a $12 meal voucher as a consolation.

Footage filmed from John F. Kennedy Airport shows some of the discontent felt by hundreds or more of stranded passengers – who were forced to wait hours overnight as they patiently awaited updates.

A series of delays ensued, during which flyers were given little excuse as to what caused the unforgivable delays.

Finally, after a few hours, the

The lack of competition means Southern households suffer lower interest rates on mortgages, credit cards and small business loans and have limited access to ATMs.

And it has led to a surge in ‘unbanked households’ – those who have not registered with any
