LX 77W at OPO?
I'm just sitting at OPO waiting to catch a flight. As we were pulling up to the airport, I saw a Swiss 77W taxiing in. I wondered whether this was a diversion due to mechanical or medical reasons of a ZRH-MIA or something like that, but it seems to have been operating a regularly scheduled flight, LH2064 ZRH-OPO.
Over the past few weeks, FlightAware shows it as having been operated by 321 (mostly), 320, and 223. Looking ahead the next few weeks on Google Flights, same thing.
Obviously they had a reason for running a 77W today, but does anyone have any insight as to why? A huge tour group? Something related to Swiss tourists flocking to Porto because they love a nice tawny port to ring in the new year? I'm curious!
