@couiza thank you!

OytheBumbler · 21/01/2024 20:31

6333 will have to land at Liverpool surely! They'll have no fuel left.

Coldilocks · 21/01/2024 20:31

😱

Feel for the poor peeps on ryr6333
looks like they might end up in Liverpool after their grand tour

Bit closer to Dublin than when they started...

NoWordForFluffy · 21/01/2024 20:32

I think it's going round to Manchester.

HobnobsChoice · 21/01/2024 20:33

Looks like a lot having difficulty at Nottingham too. Tenerife to Nottingham looks like a drunk snail with all the circling they had to do. And anyone expecting a DHL package might be disappointed

Deathbyathousandcats · 21/01/2024 20:33

I’m very, very glad I’m not flying tonight

Where is the Doha to London flight going to end up? Qtr1e

I’m watching that one too, it’s currently passing over Leicestershire.

RampantIvy · 21/01/2024 20:33

I don't understand why they fly in this weather. It wasn't as if they didn't have advance warning.

they wont necessarily be low on fuel, flights will fill up with fuel wherever is cheapest not every time they are on the ground.
If fully loaded, a 737 can fly for 5+ hours. 6 or 7 in some circumstances.
I agree it looks like Liverpool for them. I have a lot of love for Liverpool but assume they will now be stranded there for the night, far from ideal

in other news a Lanzarote to Dublin flight ended up in Bordeaux

NoWordForFluffy · 21/01/2024 20:34

The DHL Nottingham to Cincinnati goes overhead here every night. We always hear it go over as 777s are distinctive! Maybe not tonight, mind.

Pls can someone explain how to use it? I see hundreds of wee yellow planes. How do I know which ones to look at? Thanks

I just click a plane at random until I find one with an interesting path behind it. If you click this link it will take you to the Manchester to Dublin flight people have been discussing. It's been all over the place and heading back to MCR now

Has anyone ever been on similar flights that were holding, go arounds or diverts (after hours circling and trying). I can't imagine what the passengers must be thinking, although I'm sure the crew are excellent at announcements. The pilots know the limits also.

Just wondered. The only time I had an issue was going to Nice and the weather there was very windy. Tried twice, gave up and went to Toulon. I will never forget the attempted landings. I don't care what anyone says there cannot be anyone who would be super calm in those circumstances! We got going again from Toulouse to Nice eventually.

I’ve been in several flights that aborted their landings and then diverted, more than once to the other side of the country.

It sucks. You get stressed, airline workers can’t cope and usually they try to stick you on a coach for a looooong trip back to the original airport in terrible weather conditions.

Ionacat · 21/01/2024 20:35

Looks like Liverpool for the Manchester-Dublin.

JustACountryMusicGirlInCowboyBoots · 21/01/2024 20:35

Just watched one abort at Manchester from Turin!

Squirrelsbite · 21/01/2024 20:36

Poor buggers

@BrainInAJar If you go just under the search bar at the top of the page and swipe down it will bring up “most tracked flights”

I'm feeling so stressed for the passengers on RYR6333

Why didn't it go to Manchester?

Star81 · 21/01/2024 20:39

LGW to GLA diverting , looks like towards PIK

Bratnews · 21/01/2024 20:39

Berlin to Dublin just aborted their landing 🛬

I imagine they're just relieved to be down!
