I'm driving down to Stansted to pick up my son and his partner this afternoon, a round trip of about six hours. They are arriving from Morocco and, as you've probably heard, there was quite a large earthquake last night. So I've been up all night trying to reassure them that everything will be fine, so I'll be a wee bit tired later :(
They are flying from Ouarzazate on Ryanair, I just hope the flight goes ahead as I think they are both a bit shook up. Shook up.......get it? 😁
-
Uh uh hu yer.
Any update?
-
Blimey! :o
Hope they get back safely. :)
-
Hope all goes well and you all get back safe ;)
-
Thank you. Still at the airport (just a large waiting room with no shops for food and drink). But no news of a flight cancellation, so that's good :y
-
Update: Boarding the plane :y
-
Update again: That was a plane for Paris which should have left 4 hours ago. Doh!
-
Hope everything works out for you Steve, kids you never stop worrying..
-
According to FR24, the outward bound plane from Stansted is just crossing into Spain. Looking at a three-hour delay at least. :(

Bloody hell you still there?

More likely he's fast asleep in his car in the car park at Stanstead! :D
Meanwhile, the youngsters have landed, and with no sign of Uncle STEMO have opted to get the train into London and onwards Oop Norf. ;D

Got home about half an hour ago, was greeted by a massive thunderstorm. Couldn't see ten feet in front of me, just what I needed after 6 hours behind the wheel.
But they are home safe and sound, that's all that matters.
Bishops Stortford is a shithole, btw ;D

Glad to hear you're all back safe :)
the garden needed the rain ;D
Any plans for me to visit "Bishops Stortford" now cancelled ,following your excellent ,in depth travel review :D

You should have carried on a bit further along the A120 and spent a couple of hours remembering your mispent youth in Colchester. :D
Its as big a shithole as Stortford these days btw. ::)

Just a thought for the future. (After talking to a taxi driver mate) Some good flight tracking apps available Depararture/arrival time tracking, may save a long wait (and parking fees) and take a packed lunch with a flask save a small fortune on airport prices..

Yes, I use such an app, and they are usually very accurate. I can track the flight from take off to landing.
I didn't go near the airport, the parking fees were extortionate. Hence the reason I parked up at Bishop's Stortford railway station, one stop down the line...£6.

Plus 320 miles...half a tank of diesel.

You’re sorted now, have a beer and then a nice quiet rest, you deserve it👍

Like Google for example :D
And airport websites...
Also don't be a tightwad moron when going to an airport. Use a car park. It will always be cheaper than paying the fines for red line infringements. Some are actually free to park at for a couple of hours, Gatwick Long stay for example...2-5 minute bus to the terminal and no hassle. If you need longer due to delays, start at the nearest large supermarket.
