While, yes the passenger 'should' queue for the correct flight, the gate staff should also be checking boarding cards too. Dont be blaming the customers.

Oh yes, they should and they were.

One was leaving 10 minutes before the other and the worry would be that someone is at the back of the wrong queue, and they only realise that when the gate staff says "wrong flight", only to discover the other is now closed.

Everything worked out fine in the end but some people might just see "Ryanair - DUBLIN" on the departures board not realising there are two flights.


Edit: Any particular reason for the delays across London yesterday or was it just Bank Holiday traffic? As a regular user of FR119 from Gatwick to Dublin a two hour delay on that one would be miserable.

Edit2: Damn it, they landed on 34. I was four hours earlier on 10. Just missed it

Any one know anything about the Jerez-Knock flight currently on approach to Knock ? Is this a holiday Charter or a one off ?

Only one of them showed up on Flight Radar & came up as an Augusta Westland AW139 - looked to have come out of Baldonnel.

Yup, they were circling while heading south along M50. Garda EC135, Defence Forces AW139 and EC135. Just after 2,45 the 2 DF choppers heading west towards EIME.

Did FR24 improve their Atlantic coverage? Normally the trans-atlantic flights are out of coverage for much longer.

Growler!!!

French gov A330 was doing circuit training in SNN. Nice day for it...

The Alba star flying between NOC and ORK right now ? Is it a charter with a pit stop in cork to pick up more passengers ? Or just a positioning sector ?

Low visibility procedures.

Mist has the visibility at 1400m, due to this aircraft have to have further spacing between them (aka LVP's) and that coupled with the summer season has caused Monstrous holding.

Has anyone spotted the EI911 today? According to flight radar it was an hour delayed !The scheduled departure was 16:55 today which is unusual as it is normally 17:55, I assumed it was an adjustment to the schedule but I noticed the flight was delayed (pretty standard these days when you're trying to move aircraft in/out of DUB and LGW airports) and didn't depart until 18:10.
Flight radar has the scheduled arrival at NOC at 18;25 and the return flight departing back to gatwick at 19:55!! Have EI scheduled a 90min turnaround at Knock?? Or is this a mistake ?
The return EI912 is currently enroute back to LGW on time.....

For some reason Flightradar24 hasn't been able to deal with the time change this summer. I've noticed loads of routes have the wrong departure and arrival times.

It really threw me because they have the correct times for every flight on this route for the past number of weeks when you look on flight radar! Also the gatwick airport departure board has the same scheduled departure time at 16:55 !!
For some reason it look like the aircraft operating this flight was scheduled to leave DUB an hour earlier than usual but was delayed... it then arrived into knock almost an hour late yet departed early for its return due to a 90min turn! Very odd! Im still confused... Is it just me :P:O:wassat:

The scheduled arrival is 19:25.

Just make a dummy booking for this day next week on the Aer Lingus website!

Its pretty obivous the times are just behind by an hour in some cases.

Ah, simple as that. Didn't think it was misty looking at Netweather, just cloudy.

Rare for it to be sunny here and manky there.
