Anyone else watching?

Edinburgh struggling too!

But.. but… Dublin is due just a few minutes later…

Glasgow and Edinburgh bound flights struggling too

Pilot didn’t even attempt it. May be heading for Newcastle

Ignore that - I need to go to bed 🤣

Now I need to see what happens there 🤦🏽‍♀️

That’s odd. I’m just north of EDI and it’s gone very quiet here in the last half hour. Thought the wind was dropping right off. 2 flights have had to re circle and another 3 stacking.

Tenerife didn’t land at Leeds. Will see what Dublin does

And then there's Girona which is just passing Derby at present. By the time Tenerife and Dublin are done it should be time for that.

I tracked my daughter on a BA flight to Washington and the plane disappeared off the west coast of Ireland and went into the past tense. I freaked out for two whole hours

I tracked my daughter on a flight alone to Australia via Abu Dhabi.
No contact whatsoever for 24 hours. I spent a sleepless night. Worrying.

Got a text from her next morning saying G' day mother! Sunny here!

Almost collapsed with relief.

I know it's just run of the mill stuff for wealthy globetrotters with private jets.
But it's a big thing when you're not used to it. Also it was a business trip, just her, and she knew nobody at the other end.

It was all fine and she was welcomed and looked after and they'd gone to the lengths of booking a couple of female company staff into the same hotel
so that she had instant access to any assistance she might need.

Australians are bloody great. They thought of everything.

When was that? was it closed after your flight due weather?

Great ad for Jet2 tonight...

EDI 2 landed. Others coming in on track. 1 EasyJet struggling at MAN looks to be going for attempt 2.

Tenerife not landed. Where is Dublin going?

Don't know what's going on at Leeds. The Tenerife Jet2 seems to be circling and the Dublin flight looks to be heading back the way it came.

Tenerife and Dublin now at similar heights in the holding loop. EDIT: Dublin gave up. Come on Tenerife!

Ryanair are known for slamming it down and braking hard at the best of times (something to do with it being a shorter runway) so it could be a bit of a bumpy one!

Jet2 have more to lose by diverting as many/most of their flights are holidaymakers with kids and suitcases and hotel package deals. There are several due to jet off to the sunshine early morning, so it’s a total pain in the arse and costly for them if planes and crew aren’t in situ ready to fly.

Dublin flight is Ryanair like the earlier one that diverted to Manchester. Could be it's going there as well? Could put them all together on some coaches to Leeds.

Absolutely, and given they've got a big presence there I'm guessing they'd lose out more logistically for their cabin crew.

EZY from Agadir seems to be holding for somewhere near the Dublin Leeds flight.

I thought it was going to try Manchester but it looks to be turning back towards Leeds.

There’s a flight from Girona heading towards Leeds now. Let’s see what that does.

Is Dublin doublin back?

Girona has joined the party.

Given Jet2 Tenerife doesn't look to be attempting any landings and there's now Girona nearby, could it be they're trying to figure out slots at Manchester?

Looks like it may follow the other Ryanair from Dublin into Manchester

Dublin for Leeds looks like it's going to fall in behind the other Ryanair flight from Dublin and land at Manchester. Guessing Agadir backed off to allow them to slot in.

there’s quite a queue for MAN, is Tenerife going to join them?

Have Amsterdam landed now? I don't have time to read the full thread as going back on shift but curious!!
