Stuck in the airport support thread

[CaptainRAVE]

Nightmare, hope anyone affected gets home soon, I hate airport delays with a passsion.

Too few seats, loos, the food all runs out. It’s bad enough when it’s just a few hours at peak summer.

I was spitting feathers yesterday over a tiny delay, I cannot comprehend being stuck somewhere.

Last year I think I sat in a plane at BHX for 6 hours because we couldn’t land in Brussels due to fog. That was not fun.

Mine was an hour and half to Portugal earlier in the year and that ****** me off quite a lot

Expect large delays in and out of the UK.

Oh really? I'd never have guessed that the entire ATC network going down would result in delays. Gosh, how'd I not think of that.

We've only had it a couple of times (one which was really bad, 16 hours or something), we will always head straight to a lounge or hotel. Screw sitting in an airport.

It's a good thing I posted the info isn't it.

I cannot comprehend being stuck somewhere.

Friends of mine were stuck in Florida after that Icelandic volcano. I think it was for two weeks. Crazy.

Good luck to everyone trying to fly today, don't get your hopes up :/

 

[Orcvader]

Original flight was yesterday but was cancelled by BA and rescheduled for today. Now I'm just here stuck in Belfast, a lot of people have no idea what's going on.

My plane is due to take off in 15mins. Check in is still open, boarding hasn't started and there's no plane here. The screens in the airport still show as on time, I think they're lying

This Country is Broken i tell you

 

[Malevolence]

Any word on what happened yet, beyond just "a technical issue"? Is it just a regular "technical issue" or is it something more sinister that has Putin's grubby fingerprints all over it?

I heard it was Brexit.

Sat waiting patiently in Manchester for LS819 to Rhodes still says relax in lounge the earlier flight 1737 still hasn't boarded yet and that due out at 1715 now!
The 1330 Virgin to JFK is only just heading out now! Not a lot arriving or going out.

No idea but some bean counter probably got an MBE by not going with vendor suggested solutions for their DR plans.

Its likely landed, just get out there and help direct it to the gate.

Check the flight number on https://www.flightradar24.com/

If it's a inbound flight that is taking you home, deduct 1 from the number to see where the incoming aircraft is.

Sounds like they’ve fixed it so
I’m guessing we’ve re joined the EU.

Always in the school holidays

 

[scrivz69]

I blame the Tories for everything.

They better sort out all the delays by end of the week. I'm flying back to UK in a weeks time and then out again on Friday.
