For once, I want Ryanair to cancel my flight tonight

[User647647]

Someone please help me calm down.

The winds that battered the UK last night are due to arrive in the north of Spain this afternoon.

At precisely the time my plane back to the UK is scheduled to take off, the area I’m in is going into red alert for strong winds.

I’ll be praying all day that Ryanair cancel the flight.

I’m telling myself that if they don’t it’s because they think it won’t be dangerous and I don’t think we’ll die... but I’m imagining the take off and first 15 minutes of the flight to be very bumpy and scary.

I would happily reschedule to next week, but I think my husband want to go back home and see his parents, who have been on their own all Christmas.

Am I being over dramatic?

Why did they need to send a plane to you? Surely there was a plane with you when you landed?

As I understand it the flight inbound to the airport the OP was waiting at diverted...(presumably the passengers on that flight then got off and got wherever they were headed by road).

There was then an improvement or lull in the bad weather at the OPs airport...that gave the crew the chance to get the empty aircraft from where it had diverted to to the airport where the OP was waiting.

Also, the reason why the plane was empty is because the passengers diverted to Madrid were driven back to the north by bus.

Since the pilot didn’t know if they would manage to land in our airport, I guess the passengers preferred to come by bus rather than risk being flown back to the UK.
