So we've got Dudley today and tomorrow and Eunice on Friday so thought I'd start a thread. Dudley has barely hit here in Edinburgh and already there's a flight from LHR struggling to land.

@LittleSnakes

Maybe they’re expecting a lull in wind at 11:14.
Looks more like they are just adding 10 minutes on every now and then and hoping for the best 😬

Dublin to Birmingham is trying again.

Been watching the Easyjet Paris to Bristol making multiple attempts to land. I've been in that situation myself on an Easyjet flight trying to land at Gatwick. The weather was very windy but nothing like today. The pilot only (!) had to make three attempts, and that was scary enough. He kept talking to us throughout, and remained perfectly calm, which helped a lot. I really feel for the poor people on this flight.

Interested in this thread?

@PurpleHollyhocks agreed. They are very skilled.
Maybe slight motion sickness but I would think they're all safe.

Looks like the Venice flight that’s been circling south east is diverting?

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 11:09

Lisbon's attempt have been terrifying. I THINK that was number 2 but I'm trying to juggle so much atm I can't be sure 😆. Big jet guy seemed to think he could have made it that time but I guess he's not a pilot lol

Paris-Bristol going for it again!

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 11:09

Amsterdam won't land, either

Namechangeagain84 · 18/02/2022 11:09

Amsterdam next. At least that's short-haul. Its a long haul I'd want to be getting off.

LittleSnakes · 18/02/2022 11:09

Haha, maybe they’ve got inside knowledge on the wind lulls!

LittleSnakes · 18/02/2022 11:10

Come on Paris Bristol!
