....Ft Lauderdale to Medellin, Colombia, on Spirit, 2-1/2 hrs into a 3-1/2hr flight some crazy lady tells the flight crew she has a bomb, we divert to Cartagena and sit in a remote part of the airport with no A/C for 2+ hrs waiting for the Colombian bomb squad to bring a dog on the plane, we were on "lock down", no getting out of our seats, no turning on any electronics....was not very fun. The Colombian Police dragged her away, I bet she found Colombian jails a eye-opener.
Although 14 hrs is a VERY long time.
