Phones and tablets off —‘it’s really foggy’
So, one of the BHD flights from LHR was diverted to BFS tonight, due to fog. And it was foggy, no doubt.
I have no clue why BHD closes in bad weather... but let’s ignore that for a moment.

Shortly before the 10mins to landing call, our senior cabin crew instructs all of us to stow tray tables, pack up laptops and turn off handheld electronic devices.

She then patrolled the front half of the plane making sure we really did turn off our phones and iPods and remove our headphones. the lady in front of me briefly complied... then turned her iPad back on. Not for long! Our asiduous CSM then popped over to tell her to turn it off. The reason? ‘It’s really foggy tonight’.

She the occupied the jump seat, spotted three folks at the back with headphones on and paged the rear crew to have a word with them too.

’it’s really foggy tonight’. I’ll just leave that right here.
