OMFG you could not make this up... after 17 hours trapped on the plane we get to boston and get told that they can't process non-US passports and they don't know when the problem will be fixed!!

This is the voyage of the damned!

Did they at least let you off the plane?

yeah, at this point we were off the plane and in the immigration hall. In the end it 'only' took about 45 mins for them to get it working.

There's an article on CNN right now on it...here's the relevant portion to your particular flight:

"One Virgin Atlantic flight from London was diverted to JFK when the weather temporarily closed Boston's airport Friday evening. The plane, with about 200 passengers on board, sat on a taxiway for around six hours before it could take off again, said Virgin spokeswoman Brooke Lawer.

The plane, which was supposed to have arrived in Boston at 6:30 p.m. Friday, finally touched down there at 4 a.m. Saturday."

Here's the link:
