I would have thought they might be heading out Wednesday but it could be tomorrow I suppose. Backlog and aircraft displacement may well be a big problem.

Jambos_1874 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Meant to fly out of Edinburgh this afternoon. Ryanair saying its only going to be 15 mins but I know the inbound Aircraft took off 2 hrs late. Is there an issue arriving at the airport close to the original take off time if you know it will be Kate or do they need to log you going through the security barriers a certain tik3 before the flight for you to be allowed on the flight, irrespective of delay?

I'd reccomend just following your airlines advice. Even if it is Ryanair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might already be a plane in Edinburgh they'll use instead if another flight it was intended for is cancelled. Easier to cancel some flights and get things back on track than to have a constant knock on effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That thing you do Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Not surprised. One of my best pals is in IT at the NATS centre in Swanick. Wondered how long it would take for him to put bugs in the system after numerous weekend benders in Bournemouth. Now I know. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Genuinely, I'm texting him now asking wtf he's pressed Edited August 28, 2023 by That thing you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Flights are (almost) always delayed out of Edinburgh. Even British Airways. You can’t rely on anything these days. The cheaper the flights, the harder it is for airlines to get a slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Fly home from Tenerife on Wednesday so far fight on time. We thought about moving the flight to next week however the fees and charges would cost us about £200 so we will hang of rebooking and see if EasyJet cancel our flight and we can change it at no cost. Thankfully we have our own apartment here and a neighbour has offered to pick us up if there’s a long delay. Wife has informed her work that she may not be in on Friday. Still hot here and the beer is cold 😎🍺 happy to stay a bit longer. Edited August 29, 2023 by Imaman Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
