Been there back to back 4 times no problems each way..

Note to self and for everyone - Never fly with Nelly ! :lol:

I don't blame you. Nothing but trouble me.

Nelly,
Take no notice. I don't think it's you, I think it's Innsbruck.

When we were landing there once, the pilot said they all like landing there because it's one of the few places where they're allowed to manually take over control of the plane themselves and land, because the approach is so difficult (it's like landing in a couloir for those that haven't done it). I don't know if he was joking or not, he did seem to be in a jolly mood as he also told us he was racing the Monarch pilot to Innsbruck (we went with Airtours - it was ages ago).

And then, when we were coming back, we got stuck on the tarmac at Innsbruck for ages in one of those special buses. It was pretty alarming at the time because there wasn't enough room to sit down and people got exhausted standing. And then we saw a load of ambulances going out the airfield gate, before they let us on the plane. I still don't know what it was all about.

A friend of ours flew to Innsbruck last winter, and apparently the pilot realized at the last minute that he couldn't make the landing and turned around to have another go, and really frightened our friend's daughter. It made her quite nervous about flying again.

Coop - that sounds like a really dreadful journey. I hope you got some compensation for it.

What is all the fuss about, it seemed a bit of a standard landing and I was on an Easyjet.

Ian,
Maybe you weren't looking out of the window at the time?

Very good point Ian.
Good grief.

Here we go have a look at this ...... landing in Innsbruck and a few shots of Livigno.
