Edinburgh flight was supposed to go to Dusseldorf

Post by FlyGy »

Apparently the flight crew were given paperwork for Edinburgh, but the plane was loaded with passengers for Dusseldorf.

There's something strange here. Wouldn't there be general panic when the pilot (or co-jo) makes the announcement after takeoff welcoming them aboard their flight to Edinburgh?

I hadn't even thought of that. I was more wondering even if you were handed a flight plan for Edinburgh, wouldn't you say something like "wait wasn't this BA2875 to Dusseldorf?" Especially as you walked through the gate that still said Dusseldorf?
