Amadeus Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 A couple of laps of honour before landing to make it extra exciting, and now while finally boarding the captain saying everyone should take their seat fast so they can get there before the airport closes. Seems the evening flight is the one for people who like a gamble? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester flight did similar an hour or so ago before landing. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyroads, by the grace of Manannan Mac Lir we landed at 2205. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a serious contender. On the plus side, the evening closures should end, after tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope so, my worry would be that he knows what he is talking about, and that is probably a risk in showing up our current management for their lack of aviation knowledge.

One, a young woman didnt get into Gatwick until midnight and then had a £100 taxi ride at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a split second there I thought you meant the year 2205. I'm only halfway through my first coffee. 🫣 And besides, it's not totally beyond the realm of possibilities for the evening EZ Gatwick flight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
