Hi everyone, thanks for the detailed informative replies. Yes it was a Titan working as Jet2. I hadn't even thought about the prospect of alternates being under poor weather, good point. I think Venice made good sense also as they use Venice so have handling facilities there. We were on the ground 44 mins which seemed pretty good going, Captain Lee was happy enough with it. I was surprised we remained on the aircraft, but glad. Our taxi driver (Corfu end) back to the airport seemed to think that the road they close at the end of the runway for departures and arrivals was to be permanently closed in the future.
(I've kinda busted the closure in a hire car before, by mistake, as it was just a khaki uniformed guy waving his arms! I was first car to get to him. Oops)
Ps. Unsure of pressure but it was stifling and yes, flat calm. I also noticed the mountain you point at on that departure. Eeek!
Thanks again
