Hardly an analogous situation Phx.. in this case, Glasgow, is less than 30 minutes flying time from Newcastle. Driving can take hours as it is not motorway, but a nightmare drive up the A1 and through the borders country (beautiful, but not easy). Glasgow was not closed... it was diverted for operational reasons and for the convenience of Thomas Cook. Finding alternative means to bypass conditions beyond the control of the airline is good; inconveniencing passengers in excess of 5 hours for operational reasons is not.
