MAN - PMI Routing
More a quiery than a question, but I was in the back on BMI baby from Palma to MAN on Monday this week. This is normally a 2 1/2ish hour trip, but we seemed to take a funny route, routing towards Barcelona as norm (been doing this trip since I was 11 by the way) but rather than turning we just carried on a while and appeared to track the French coast all the way up. Not a problem except it took just over 3 hours to get home, not very nice sat on the hardboard that passes for a seat base on there these days (but that's another thread). Funny thing is, just been looking at MON for the same trip in a couple of weeks time, and the same sort of time is being quoted again. What's the reason for 3 hours in the air and this route? 3 hours on an airliner with a 5 year old is pushing the limits allowed by the Geneva Convention!!!!
