MC ATL is around the corner. I feel insane for even having to make this post & writing out some of the information/advice in here.

Would I advise anyone to go to the US right now? No. Can I tell you what to do? Also no. So the least I can do is provide advice on how to travel as safely as possible

EWR has been closed to arrivals and departures for over an hour due to the World Cup final, mostly so they could do a poorly timed military flyover that was barely visible on the broadcast for about 3 seconds.

Absolute stupidity.
