| Shimmy Alcott, BA was probably playing a game of brinkmanship with the CAA/goverment. After Wee Willie isn't none as being a shy retiring type when it comes to trying to get his own way. They possibly also got advance warning after all it would look pretty shabby if the first plane into LHR wasn't a BA flight. |
Ha ha ha - yes, could you imagine if it had been America Airlines - or Icelandic Air like the scottish airports this morning.
Great news that your girls are going to get home BTW! You must be well chuffed

Could I be excessively cynical and suggest that they managed to get him in just before 10 to make sure they got it on film for the first item on the 10 o'clock news?

You lot are nowhere near cynical enough ... BA shift change at 10 .. noone on 2-10 so no point landing if everyone sits on plane

Shimmy Alcott our local news reported 11 flights heading for Newcastle airport, I haven't seen or heard any of them yet, and none on the website either.

Shimmy Alcott, Check it out, think you'll find I'm right ... still delighted BA pulled one on the Scruffy Bearded One though .. BIG time !

Agenterre, I did find it quite satisfying for some reason, go BA!

Still almost a monopoly of BA into London - love it!

Agenterre, I saw that too, wondered where on earth they had been (obviously nowhere as they had been flying but you know what I mean), but also hadn't thought of your conspiracy theory

Shimmy Alcott, I keep thinking, I'll shut it down after one more plane has landed, one more...and on it goes. Utterly ridiculous, its not even exciting, just addictive! Admin better not ban it, what would we do from now on

was fun watching the planes get giddy going round in loops. but i forced mysefl to stop using the site.
So now my dilemma...
I have €200 Luftahansa vouchers to spend by may 10th. Do I book a couple of flights for may/june (we have 3 4-day weekends  here in may/june), or do i buy a load of trash in the lufthansa store?

I see there's a DHL flight ex-EMA so are they all opening up then ??
