LTN snow closed
 

Nothing in or out by road or air

And blinking cold here sat on top of the Chilterns. Those naughty Polar's are in heaven!

Looks like Newcastle was closed aswell earlier on today....all were either cancelled or diverted...where do Newcastle usually get diverted to? is there a procedure or just where there is space?

LTN re-opened 1915 ish accepting arrivals (and diversions!) only!

Seems to have taken quite a few Ryan diverts from STN in the last hour or so.

Stansted Divs, that should cost thier pax a few bob to get home then!

>>where do Newcastle usually get diverted to

Teesside or Leeds normally take quite a few but often BA go to Manchester. Edinburgh is also an option that has been used in the past.

So only Luton was closed eh LTN MAN? - it's now 0950 and I here that STN is still suffering from it's 12hr+ closure. You should also check out LHR and LGW during the snow storms - especially as it would apear less snow fell there than North of the Capital.

I undestand from the met some 14cms fell at Luton. This is a totally different story from the last time I flew in there - Xmas 2 years ago.

Blacktop rules OK - well done guys.

LTN MAN according to the BBC STN still closed at 1330.

Mind one year when the BA DH-8s and Gill ATRs diverted to Carlisle from Newcastle

EDI has been used several times this winter already - including yesterday

My friend Mr Cheap Seats had a brilliant journey from Amsterdam into Luton yesterday. He finally arrived home a day late having spent the night sleeping in a taxi on the M11, following a diversion to Stansted. He claims that the traffic was stationary, but I reckon he planned it. Another night to add to their short break. The taxi was cheaper than a hotel!

my flight to NCl went to MME.....oh and back to the delightful Airport Hotel.....ugh :yuk:
