FR9045 diverted
Yesterday FR9045 from BCN to STN was diverted to LTN. Anybody know why?
Fairly interesting route when they returned to STN - straight over the centre of Cambridge at 6000 feet - I'm guessing they decided to give the passengers a bit of sight-seeing to make up for the diversion?

Apologies!
Yes, should have gone in to Spectators in the first place.
Thanks Musket90 for a possible reason. I looked at STN arrivals and didn't see a break.
Still curious about the route - definitely not the shortest and wondered about the additional fuel burn from a notoriously tight airline to take the aircraft directly over Cambridge at fairly low altitude.

When going from one airport to another nearby you can't just go where you please, ATC will have an input.
Positioned empty aircraft LUT to LHR a couple of times, one flight was about 9 mins the other was over 20 mins including once round the hold.
