The Gatwick flight, which took off sometime yesterday afternoon, finally ended up landing at Manchester because Gatwick closed while it was on route. Thankfully it arrived safe and sound.

So do we know if the gatwick flight definately had to go to Manchester then

Minimoo's post seems to be an emphatic yes !!

No it didnt! it landed at Gatwick 21.23 with my father in law and brother in law on it.

`the gatwick flight took off on time and landed at gatwick minus 55 passengers as the plane was too small. We were then put on the manchester flight which took off about 10 hours late. got to manchester and offered a coach to Gatwick which was shut!!!!luckily i found a national express coach to Victoria then took a train home. Eventually got home 24 hours after leaving my Turkish home. Hard Work!!!!

Oh no, what a disaster,  and the stupid thing is that the snow is only about 3" deep... anyway now you are all here l hope that having a good english christmas will erase the travel nightmares from your minds

Assuming then that my parents must have ended up on the same flight as goatman..I have heard that they landed at Manchester and were bussed to Gatwick, but have not been able to speak to them so far, so have not had the full details.
