Flights cancelled :(

[Arthur Little]

flights from Manchester got cancelled?? I just got a call from my honey to tell me about the sad news oh no!! after so many sleepless nights because of too much excitement...ahhh life sometimes is unfair ...

now.....
How do i tell two little kids who have been looking forward to seeing Daddy all year that now they can’t? It is heartbreaking...i just can't help myself from bursting into tears. i am sooo upset i just hope i won't get dehydrated

Oh nooooooooooo! Oh, that's sooooo disappointing ... really and truly! I feel heart-sorry for you and the kids. Is it to do with this BA kerfuffle ... or, as Tim suggests, as a result of bad weather condtions? Whatever the cause, hopefully your husband's flight can be re-scheduled as soon as possible, so that he can be with the three of you in the lead-up to Christmas.

Please keep us updated.

Hi Arthur! Thank you for the kind, comforting words..Yeah, i felt extremely sad after i got the quick call from my husband telling me about the sad news..felt sorry for him as well coz he spent hours of travelling just to end up stranded, cold & freezing at the chaotic airport..no one ever bothered to give him prior notice about the cancellation he is now trying to sort out a flight so we could still be together for Christmas..

That's because you still have to go to the airport in case the flight does go, as no one knows which flights will get off the ground.

Seems a bit strange as only a light dusting of snow in Manchester (http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/cont...e_webcam.shtml), which doesn't stop flights, and all Gatwick flights have been diverted to Mancheser as it's clear! Only 3 cancelled flights today http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/M...nfo/FlightInfo , all short-haul.

Which airline? As the problem is if it's an EU plane it never actually got to Manchester. One reason we always fly direct to Singapore.

I checked earlier on, and I found that several flights have been cancelled from Terminal 2 and only a couple from 3.

And as you said, several diverted flights from other destinations, are landing without any problems...

I suppose the landing fees are more important or heftier than take-off ones....

So my assumption is that they are cancelling some flights on purpose and without a valid reason, so to accomodate more landing slots.

Mancs, eh...?

your right scouser keith , nothing you could call snow fell in Manchester, or even higher up in Bury where i work, it snowed for maybe 15 mins and turned into 1mm of ice and 90% of it was gone the next day

AIR FRANCE flight MAN-Paris-Hongkong

AIR FRANCE flight MAN-Paris-Hongkong

That's why then, Paris was snowed in. So his plane was grounded there.

Tell him not to be so tight next time and use SIA
