Flight delays due to bad weather are unfortunate, but less so at JFK's TWA Hotel.
The appropriately-named "Weather Delay," one of the custom cocktails served at TWA's brand new ski-themed rooftop getaway, helps take the edge off interrupted travel plans. The bar's classic and specialty house cocktails are $16 each, according to recent visitors.
Runway Chalet at the Pool Bar, designed to resemble a '60s-era ski lodge, beats waiting in your run-of-the-mill airport lounge, too.
