Travel Agent - You gotta go round you go around! What ever caused the go round, on airfield or aircraft, could not be sorted in the time remaining airborne or perhaps the separation(vortex or radar) from preceding aircraft was eroding and a timely re-position(early go around) was needed?? No idea what happened but 4nm final is not that early???

It'll probably in papers so we'll know exactly why it happened when the traumatised people whose lives have been ruined contact the press like this pair:
Couple say honeymoon was ruined by 'scary' landing - Manchester Evening News

sound like a pair of idiots courting publicity....
why can't they be grateful that the aircrew acted professionally and got them back home safe???
I remember a couple of years ago heading back from Kefalonia when the greek ATC were working slow and the 3 departing flights that night were delayed, there was also a technical fault for the old astraeus iron maiden back to NCL
Birmingham - delayed 1 hour
Manchester - delayed 2 hours
Newcastle - delayed 6 hours
I remember the level of abuse that the Birmingham & Manchester pax give the Thomas cook rep..... whereas the geordies just sat patiently, must be a differently mentality down that way

A lot of dissatisfaction is down to the airport staff and the information given out. Pax do, quite rightly, get very annoyed when they are just told there is a delay (again and again) with no word of explanation or just that God-awful, meaningless cop-out phrase of, "due to operational reasons".
Airlines and airports would be surprised just how much pax are prepared to put up with if only they are told honestly what is going on.

FR24
FR 24 seems a bit unreliable these days. Its showing the LS532 diverted to PMI when in fact it landed at NCL 13.28, 12 mins ahead of schedule (G LSAK i think )
Dont know about TCX.

Nice little addition to the S15 schedule.. hopefully a couple more frequency increases and maybe new route announcements to come 
!
On another note travelled to/from Dalaman onboard the leased A320 last week which was comfortable and overall a good airport experience (apart from the packing of an entire plane onto one bus!). We had 3 pilots on board... sat in row 1 and overheard the FO was being checked by an EMA based Senior FO.
Also overheard him say something about one base going all Airbus next year..could have been any from EMA/BHX/MAN (he was talking about all 3 in the same conversation to the FA and I was half asleep ha!)
