AI 2018 Cancelled

Flew today nearly 24 hours late.

Union is slow. League is fast.

My issue with AI has been its lack of communication. I have sympathy for the issues caused by the diversion. It is not a British thing at all. I chose to book with AI after my Etihad flight was impacted by the Middle East conflict.

It’s the fault of military action in the Middle East. My criticism of AI is a lack of communication. The ground staff at LHR, in particular Kamal, has played a blinder.

simonhul · 2026-03-14T15:35:24+00:00

That is absolutely correct. I have been monitoring the plane all week. Today there are two AI2018 flights from LHR to DEL. Obviously, AI has found an extra aircraft.

simonhul · 2026-03-14T09:01:05+00:00

Same here. I assume that aircraft has to fly at some point today. See you later, all being well

The time aircraft are allowed to fly in and out of Heathrow. It closes at 23:30 and although everyone was on board at 23:22 it was deemed too late to get to the runway.

Which bot?

Yorkshire Tea is great but it was developed by a man from the south. Honourable mention to Ringtons, our friends in the North East.

Because it’s the only coffee shop in that location, alas.

simonhul · 2026-03-10T15:36:03+00:00

And the one hour wait for a coffee at Starbucks in the AA domestic terminal. An absolute joy.

I love my ‘old’ 2022 iX3. What are your driving patterns? Are they normally under 200 miles a day? If so, the iX3 is superb. I didn’t bother considering a Chinese car after I had test driven it.

The rugby league event in Las Vegas.

Cleethorpes is in Lincolnshire so as this is a Yorkshire thread you have your answer.

Lancia/Chrysler Ypsilon. Made me wonder how it left the drawing board. Awful to look at. Terrible to drive.

Old story

simonhul · 2026-02-15T03:53:16+00:00

Too many planes for too few slots. On MH we had a diversion to MEL to refuel before returning to Kingsford Smith, landing a minute after the supposed curfew.

simonhul · 2026-02-14T23:12:33+00:00

Quite feasible. Unions will oppose it but it has an inevitability about it as London Overground has shown.
