My flight home this morning was cancelled due to poor visibility. This is a regular problem at Knock Airport (or Connaught Airport as I think it’s officially known?). Now I’m no expert, but surely building the airport on one of the highest hills in the region was a bit of a mistake? Is it as numbingly-simple as: the higher one is, the closer to the clouds, and thus you might expect them to roll over the airport a lot more often than if it was on lower-lying ground?
So I’m now awaiting an afternoon flight to Stansted rather than the more convenient Luton destination of this morning’s flight, and crossing everything that the fog lifts in time.
Update: In fact, following a recent rebranding, the official name of the airport is the rather clumsy Ireland West Airport Knock — I doubt anyone but the marketing department actually refers to it as such.
