Anyone know why the Dalaman flight due in tonight has been diverted? I have family on it, two of whom need to get connecting flights first thing tomorrow back home.

They've diverted the plane 3 hours before it's due at it's destination, my bet is they need the plane to operate a flight out of Manchester...

Interesting to see if they're told any fibs!

Further to that it does seem that Thomas Cook are having problems at Manchester this evening, take your pick at which flight it's going to operate...
T1 TCX2074 14:10 Naples Estimated Sat 15 Sep 00:15
T1 TCX2464 19:50 Heraklion Departing Sat 15 Sep 00:55
T1 TCX2436 22:35 Corfu Estimated Sat 15 Sep 00:30
Aircraft in question is G-FCLJ, interesting to see where it is at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning!

According to sources, the initial loads on the first two 777-300ER flights into Newcastle provide positive reading. The September 1, 2012 flight was fully-booked but arrived minus around 40 passengers who missed the connection in Dubai due to bad weather, while the September 2, 2102 flight was operated by a full aircraft configured in a higher-density arrangement with seating for 442 passengers. In fact, with eight infants onboard the jet arrived with 450 onboard, the largest ever passenger load to arrive at Newcastle International on a single aircraft.
Also, being a pedant, haven't Corsair using their high density B.747's carried 500+ on football charters?

Emirates
Quite surprised that only three 428/442 seat aircraft thus far for NCL although BHX has suffered the same but on a smaller scale with about 3 out of 32 flights this month downgraded (seat wise).
Dublin on the other hand has seen at least four two class aircraft this month and it seems that as ever EK are being flexible with their fleet.
September traditionally has been a good month for Emirates and I was a little surprised at the BHX downgrades and even more so at NCL but it is early days and I remember BHX's second flight having some terrible figures although it did start it the low season (like Glasgow's) which did seem odd at the time but I am sure they had their reasons.
Early days and hopefully it will all turn out okay.

Just back after a week away. Can someone tell me why they spent money on moving the xray machines from East-West to North-South and still only have 3 out of 6 working? The queue when I went out zig-zagged back to where the boarding cards get checked.
What is the point? Really, what is the point???

Agreed ash, it looks much prettier now, however the queue length has remained pretty much the same.
No point in expanding if you ain't expanding the number of staff. On the plus side the NCL security staff are a more friendly breed than at other airports.

You are clearly unlucky or a jinx Ash, last twice I have been through all but one of the lanes were open, 7am and 3pm. I'm not sure the queues are any shorter mind but because of the way they have changed the lanes around it gives the illusion the queue is shorter. Took no more than 10-15mins to get through and that was with what seemed like every other passenger setting the alarm off, when will people learn?

I should say, though, that passport control was much better coming back, every desk manned.
Out of curiosity, before I went I had a look at the "book lounge" section on the airport's website to see what they would charge but it said that it was closed at the time I wanted. At the airport I had a look and it was open as usual. Not that I went in; it's one of the worst lounges out there, not even a plate of cornflakes for the early flights.
