Doesn’t say where it’s going next… but I’m guessing it’ll nightstop and come back tomorrow with pax on board.

Rather convenient isn’t it… using two slots at LHR, scheduled 40 mins apart, with precisely zero ground staff required. Even if you accept that it’s necessary to position an aircraft empty, shouldn’t it go NCL-JER direct for efficiency…? The only thing more ironic given the whole #BABetterWorld thing would be if they’d used TTNA with the special environmental livery.

Plenty more like that if you look. Also hilarious that even an empty flight with no pax to blame ends up over an hour delayed.
Did she not fly to JER as BA2776 two hours late??
