OK, OK - sorry about the first one. Didn't think it was that bad...

Just asking - anyone know of any events in Miami which would have caused my friend's flight to London to be cancelled? Bad weather? Terrorist alert? Got a couple of messages, but no reasons given. Seems odd for that many passengers to be subject to a 24h delay, and no replacement aircraft...

Dunno about Miami but we have a winter storm going on right now that would be a Cat 1 hurricane if it was the "season".

Apparently he's on the 6.20pm this evening. Still don't have a reason for the cancellation.

Erm, no... but I'm not allowed to name any names. :( Google up on the computer storage technique "nines complement". My friend's plane is a 252-599. Power supplied by Charles and Henry.

He's arrived. I asked him why the flight had been cancelled, and it turns out to have been caused by an unserviceable aircraft which wasn't able to leave London on its journey to Miami. Erm... no further comment. ;)

The initial comment shows a lack of knowledge about daily aircraft  in service.

Or are you just exhibiting a lack of good sense or judgment in that you think there is some particular brand of commercial airliner that never, ever have mechanical malfunctions that result in flight cancellation?
