Seeing this reminded me of the story from that magazine that wasn't airway... maybe you could post this in the TUI forum!
A FIRST FOR BRITANNIA!
Britannia Airways transits UK airspace without whinging
Early last Saturday morning a Britannia Boeing 737 from Palma to Glasgow actually flew through LATCC airspace without once asking,
a) for a direct route
b) for a higher level
c) for a lower level
d) how far is that aircraft in my 2 o'clock?
e) isn't this frequency too busy and shouldn't it be split?
It is believed that this is the first recorded time that this has happened. The AIB and IAM at Farnborough have been informed as it is understood that the crew may well have been asleep.
