OK, now we’re turning around and approaching from the opposite direction after the 1st aborted landing. Notice the flaps and strong winds. Finally landed safely…only to sit waiting for the fuellers to re-fuel us and for Liberia to re-open. 2 hours on the ground. Finally, Liberia Int’l re-opened and we were off again! One of the best AC crew I have ever flown with. All flight attendants and pilots were excellent, up-dated us every 15 minutes (with what little information they were getting from SJO ATC and LIR ATC), passed out beverages and snacks and left the entertainment system on, all while doing their best to empathize and reassure everyone on-board to the best of their ability in a situation where little information was relayed to the pilots and crew and limited resources.
