I will tell you jonnyH one stupid reason why some of your Newcastle services have been cancelled today - allowing at the present time a Monarch charter flight from Finland due to arrive this evening eta 1940 - and then position to Luton! I bet many of the delayed passengers at Heathrow, Newcastle etc would be really pleased about that if they knew. Heathrow Airport Ltd - the proverbial p**s up and brewery springs to mind!

LHR
NCL has had 5 out of 6 flights from LHR cancelled today.(aprox 80%)
LBA has had 2 out of 4 (50%)
MAN has had 6 out of 12 (50%)
ABZ has had 3 out of 8 (aprox 38%)
EDI has has 4 out of 12 (aprox 33%)
GLA has had 2 out of 12 (aprox 16%)
That is correct as at 17 45 hrs and may change as the day progresses but it certainly shows where the priorities lie. ( hope I have done the sums correctly )

ash666 thats because the last flight from LHR tonight cancelled.
HH6702 try telling that to the 500 + people booked to fly LHR NCL on todays cancelled flights.
Nothing worse than flying in from LAX at 13.30 to find your connection to NCL is cancelled and all the following flights are also cancelled for the rest of the day. But if you were flying on to EDI, MAN etc there are some flights running and a seat is possible.
Surely they could have managed one flight this afternoon/evening.

Always the same, we have discussed this many times before, NCL always the first to be cancelled and most savage cuts too, no competition on NCL-LHR route for BA so no chance of pax changing their preferred operator in future so easy option for them.

No Eric it is going straight to Heathrow and then positioning to Luton. It is an A320. Does make you wonder what the heck is going on. Scheduled services cancelled but lets a Santa charter in! The Daily Mail might be interested me thinks.

Appreciate what you say about no competition on the NCL LHR route. However at the moment there is none on LHR. MAN,ABZ,EDI,GLA and the flights to these places are always less effected than LHR NCL.

Heathrow Airport Ltd - the proverbial p**s up and brewery springs to mind!
a) control the fog and
b) what flights BA operate.
But a) they can't and
b) they don't
Take aim again please

I would also suggest that all the other airports will have higher yielding passengers than NCL. They do right to keep their most profitable customers happy.
Also the train between London and NCL isn't too bad.

"Also the train between London and NCL isn't too bad"
You clearly haven't been on it over recent weeks. During Monday night's debacle, the guard admitted that there were no compensation claim forms on the train because they had run out after all the recent problems. Still, I suppose that there is comfort that, unlike the plane, if you are more than 1 hour late at destination, East coast Trains does give you a full credit against the ticket.

Have TCX decided yet whether they will be sticking with 3 aircraft plus a leased aircraft, as last year, to fill in the gaps on the Summer timetable or are they sticking 4 up there? As I know it was undecided a few months ago.
