Newark NJ, Airport Armageddon: A surge in flight delays this summer has created chaos in airports around America, with the delay domino effect leaving travelers spending more time (and money) inside airports while they await their unpredictable departure.

This can rack up significant costs – especially for traveling families – and particularly so if there are specific dietary requirements that are necessary.
