FareCompare’s Grumpy Santa is Grounded–Hello, Amtrak!

Filed under: Problem, Cancellations, Airport, Train — mike @ 5:37 pm

Here’s the latest: Grumpy Santa is stuck in blizzardy Boston, but he needs to get to New York City (we hope to show our hero frolicking in Times Square).

UPDATE FROM GRUMPY SANTA: “Watch out for the video of the snowstorm. It should be up today or tomorrow. Also, pay attention and try to see if you catch the moment when our fearless director gets hit by an errant snowball.”

Anyway, he’s got his orders: Onward to Amtrak! Unfortunately, all the “good” trains (the express ones) are full so Santa’s stuck with a local. It’ll take him more than 4-hours to get to Penn Station. Meantime, some bad news…

Meanwhile, the flight to New York that was grounded? Uh…it just took off. Santa, unfortunately is still at the train station…waiting.

But, it makes for a good story (”Yeah, right,” snarled Santa). And we hope to have some video of this soon. In the meantime, enjoy these heartwarming scenes of Grumpy Santa ranting and raving, and actually having some fun.
