So it was a hypocritical pubicity stunt .....W&K take and empty jet to SCOTLAND and everyones gone quiet. Interesting

[NaughtToThreeSadOnions]

After days and days of threads about harrys stance on having more than two chidren. Which btw william has preached about the effect population growth has on the enviroment days after announcing he was adding to that population for the third time, and mass outrage about H&M taking a plane paid for by Elton on hoiliday and how wonderful Wills and kate were for their flybe.

Which i didn't hugely get because if the protests about tje sussexes were on ecological grounds then surely a fucking massive flybe plane has bigger engines and produces more admissions but oh look the cambridges fly economy .

So is no one actually going to mention that in fact no no they didnt fly economy at all what they did was use a massive poluting flybe plane as a private jet. Ahhh really ecological and abusolutely nothing like ecoonomy.

Did everyone really think they'd flown with everyone else? Two future kings of england flying economy? Pull the other one.

It was desogned to humilate tje little brother

Have you actually read the article? That's not my interpretation at all (it sounds more like a Par stunt from Flybe) plus it refers to the other passengers who were on the flight so they clearly weren't using it as a private jet.

I’m prepared to be corrected, but I believe the empty plane was flown from Humberside to Norwich to be used on a scheduled flight to Aberdeen which had, amongst other passengers, the Cambridges on board. It’s my understanding that it is reasonably common in the air industry to fly empty aircraft so they are in position for commercial flights when needed.

I’m not an expert in this area so I’m ready to be corrected.

Why does slagging off two sets of Royals cancel out the criticism of one?

Harry and Meghan will end up settling in the US. I said it at the beginning and I stand by it. She wants it and he will go because the press will hound him out.

Think it was pretty clear in all the coverage that it was a decision made by flybe and W&K knew nothing about it. But don't let that get in the way of your annoyance

Oh for god sake they didn’t fly off on an empty plane. It was just Flybe wanted their branding. Such a misleading headline.

Yes i have read the article yes the bit where it says it was an empty plane or does empty actally mean completely full in your ittle oppisite land!!

And yes it was probably more flybes publicity stunt yes, the cambridges still went along with it though didnt they? You really think their staff hadnt told them about the negativity tje sussexes were getting or had they prehaps come back from tje moon and totally unaware of it.

Also why take a plane in the first place, do you know how the queen gets to balmoral??? Oh by train! Couldn't william have gone with granny???

Read the article op it’s clearly a publicity stunt but not orchestrated by Kate and Wills.

The empty plane was a positioning flight. Not the flight that Wills & Kate took. Once it was in position it was a regular scheduled flight.

Why can't people read articles properly?

Umm. No. You’re wrong. It was a positioning empty flight by Flybe to use their branded plane rather than a wet lease local carrier

So the flight HRH took was a full, functioning flight. With other passengers. Hence the previous quotes from the other pax saying “oh it was a surprise to see them”

And no, the royals wouldn’t have been told about the planets earlier flight that day empty to get down to Norwich. Do you get told about the previous flights your plane has done that day?

But sure, rant away looking like a biased baboon....

Yes i have read the article yes the bit where it says it was an empty plane or does empty actally mean completely full in your ittle oppisite land!!

This isn't unusual. It was in the papers last week too, when a man ended up on a US flight completely alone because they needed to move the empty craft. It will have had nothing to do with the Cambridge's. They weren't on it when it was empty, it wasn't moved for them. It was moved because the next flight it is scheduled for departs from a different airport. It's crap in terms of the environment, but it's nothing to do with the royals or anyone else at all, this is how airlines are run.

I can see what you're trying to say; but you've misunderstood what happened, partly because the papers are dying to get people frothing.

You might have read the article but you obviously didn’t comprehend it if this is the conclusion you reached.

I’m no royalist but this is a reach.

You think w&k knew nothing about it come off it???

What you think they just turned up and flybe went ohh use our plane. Absolute rubbish!!! Of course they knew they were using a flybe branded plane, of course they knew it was going to be empty.

You think things like areanging travel arrangements for the royal family just happen over night. All tje security all the press all extra precortions just happen.

But dont let your naivety get in tje way of your bias what ever you do

Yawn.

Well done OP. You have a manged to read the article and infer something completely different from everyone else. That must be a special kind of talent.

Of course it was a PR stunt, by Flybe.

Should they have refused to get on the plane?

No i do comphend the article

Somebody needs a reading and comprehension check

And a spell check wouldn't go amiss either

I quite often fly with Flybe and I have never gone in an unbranded plane. I didn't know they had such a thing.

Yeah. You’re just deliberately being obtuse.

Go have a nice day

You've got the wrong end of the stick OP. Even just looking at the pictures surely you can tell other people were on the plane?! Who do you think took the pics and video with the articles?!

It stopped everyone talking about Andy.

Job done.

it was a stunt . made to make his brother look bad.
I don't think the plane was empty as it wouldn't have worked.

The flight W&K were on was not empty. Flybe moved the plane while it was empty from wherever it was to Norwich where W&K boarded it, along with the other passengers, on a standard Flybe flight. They then flew to Aberdeen. The empty, positioning flight was nothing to do with W&K.

The plane wasnt empty when they were on it.

You havent comprehended the article at all.

The plane to Scotland wasn't empty. It had the Cambridges and regular passengers.

The flight was not empty. It had other passengers on it.

Flybe chose to send a branded plane for that flight as frequently happens in the airline industry.
