Been geeking this morning on the number of flights having to go around

Noticed several Gatwick and Luton flights diverting to Stanstead

Check out DI7018 JFK- Gatwick

Two attempts at Gatwick, seemed to be heading for Stanstead, but now the Norwegian airlines crew seem to be taking everyone home with them!

Sorry my misunderstanding. I got confused with everything up north!

Athens flight absolutely normal. It was holding on the Biggin stack. Heathrow has 4 stacks.

I get confused with FR all the time Smash

Has a Luton bound easyjet flight from CDG just had to land at Manchester? I can't find it on the arrivals board? Maybe my tired eyes are deceiving me.

EZY49XP - it’s just over the channel

That's quite relaxing watching the stack over Biggin.

You can see them coming in, going around and then forming the line for LHR.

Fascinating

I'm impressed with the orderly LHR queue - very British 😆

Does anybody else when tracking their planes google places they're flying over?
Eg right now I'm following one to South Africa from London, and when it flies over places I've never heard of, I google it.
Currently reading about an amazing sounding national park at the mo!
Plus I'm epic at game show geography questions as a result as well lol

@WotchaTalkinBoutWillis Yes, I do - I've learned the names of some random airports in Lithuania and wherever this week

So do we think today will bring a repeat of last weeks shenanigans?

I know a lot of flights over the next couple of days have already been cancelled

I’m on the South coast and it’s not too bad here at the moment. LGW looks fairly normal on FR at the moment.

Couple of flights appear to be circling Dublin, though it's the west coast of Ireland expected to get the worst today.

Ooh I’ve found a RAF flight! My first one!

Pretty damn windy here now (North Lincolnshire)

Looks like a plane from Geneva tried to make a landing and had to abort and circle around again at Dublin and has lead to a bit of a queue. There's about 5 planes circling in two separate areas waiting to land. It is very windy in Ireland today.

Are Lingus from Cork to Bristol appears to have had problems and is diverting, poss to Liverpool

And it's one of the little prop planes. Had an awful flight in one of them in similar conditions before.

I don't think it's going to Liverpool

We went to the Isles of Scilly on one of those, coming back there was really thick fog which descended after we'd taken off - the pilot had to go down to 500 feet. Let me tell you, the sea looks very, very close at 500 feet. They cancelled all flights for the rest of the day after that.

I think the Cork-Bristol flight is going into Manchester.

Looks that way @belgianpringles, that's going to a long journey back to where they need to be for the passengers 🙈

Yes, and not a nice drive either judging by OYBBK and Gloria's threads.

They might not go by road though. Often it can just be a refuel and return. However the weather is so bad it really isn't worth trying again.

I'm watching a little flight over Greenland at the moment, a local one by the looks of things. The weather is variable there - one place is 23deg. and another is -9.

Still a lot of circling going around Dublin Right now!
