The JFK to BOS flight was uneventful. The delay of the inbound plane was difficult since we were near 1.5 hours in delays from the original departure time.

This flight was delayed 3 or 4 times. We had boarded the plane, sat on plane for a good 30 minutes, then we had to board the aircraft, walk to a different gate, wait and then board another aircraft. We arrived in Tampa 4 hours later than the original booking. I feel there should have been some sort of compensation especially for the advantage members.
