A passenger on a British Airways flight to Dubai has had his direct journey changed to something completely bizarre.
David Clark was due to depart London Heathrow on Sunday, and was scheduled to fly straight to Dubai in just over seven hours.
But the disgruntled traveller has been told he now needs to fly on Tuesday via Edinburgh, Scotland, before returning to London, and then jetting off to the Middle East.
David shared his updated journey on Twitter. The new plan is down to the adverse weather conditions which are causing disruption up and down the country.
Mirror Online has asked British Airways for a response, and the airline has told us that it is looking into what's happened with David's peculiar route plan. We've also contacted David for any updates.
The situation comes after a number of problems for passengers hoping to get away for Christmas. The snow is unwelcome.
At Heathrow on Sunday night, firearms officers turned up to the British Airways business lounge "to prevent any situation from escalating", according to the airline.

A spokesman later insisted that the commotion was the result of a misunderstanding and the police were there simply "acting as escorts" as customers moved back through security.
An eyewitness said there "wasn't even a hint of a problem" and called it a "disgusting" way to treat customers.
British Airways, which has not had the best of years (who can forget the major IT outage, which followed numerous job cuts), has been severely affected by the weather conditions so far in December.
