With the NATO summit, VNO has some nice loads in C, 10-12 rows on an Embraer with the Great and the Good.

It was interesting that after flying LO285 WAW-LHR last night, LOT decided to cancel the morning flight in order to operate a Gov charter flying LHR-BRU as LO7373 then to VNO as LO7374 before operating a supplementary commercial service VNO-WAW as LO1772 with a few token pax.

Though cancelling one flight is nothing compared to the LT's cancelling 100 flights in VNO because the airport is too close to the venue for "security reasons". It's shut from noon tomorrow until 4PM on Wed. Probably one of the reasons why such places tend not to be good choices for these events if you have to close your main airport? Though, I am sure the LT's were happy to bend over backwards to host for the cash it will bring.

Pity for those thousands of travellers though.
