Saw the Monarch flight come in on Saturday morning just before 7am as we departed, 3hours or so late.
Though it wasn’t the only direct BFS-SFB flight on Friday ;s There was a Britannia too.

It does seem strange, even Monarch weren’t advised of it!!!

I think it is great that the passengers aren’t told, just to avoid any panic over something that probably is a hoax anyway but next time you are asked to disembark the aircraft when it is practically still on the runway, you should start to suspect that things aren’t as they should be.

mmm seems a very very strange storey and no news channels here ive seen today have picked it up. Even BBC News Website hasent picked it up and they usually are good yet a few hours late!

Strange unloading the aircraft of bags as usually they would prefer to let the dog into the hold but im guessing they were in containers so would at least need to unload the containers to let dogs in.

No mention of IRA/UDA/UVF in it and im sure if they gave coded warning would be mentioned. Very odd considering its Northern Ireland we are talking about! Ill do a bit of digging :p
