On a sidenote, Stansted airport has to be the worst in the country. It looks and feels like the little tent they put up over a downed racehorse at the Grand National to put it bullet in its head.
Someone who hates traffic?
Could be that they needed to fly there anyway and decided to sell tickets so not to lose money. Otherwise it’d be a ghost flight.
Could be just a ‘reposition’ flight, i.e. no passengers at all.
Cloud auditors. Got to be done, even in that small stretch.
Years ago, as a kid, we were flying from Stansted to Pula, in Croatia. For some reason, they couldn’t fuel up the plane at Stansted, so we flew from Stansted to Gatwick (to fill up) and onto to Pula on Yugoslav Airways (told you, it was years ago)
Taylor Swift probably wants a Starbucks
What’s the full flight number and date? Can probably track down a diverted flight on FR24.
What number is being covered up by the ring? EZY833x?
I’d take a stab in the dark and say EasyJet.

It’s the easyJet flight to Edinburgh*
*some coach travel involved
Plane needs to make the flight anyway for scheduling purposes. May as well sell the odd one or two tickets to offset some of the cost.
easyJet did fly a plane once a day from Luton to Gatwick, despite the train offering a cheaper, faster, and more frequent route, for the exact same reason.
People who are just transferring between flights in the UK?
I’ve been on this flight before and the plane was full. People have all sorts of reasons.
The irony of British transport is that they don’t know whether it is on time or not!!!!

Just hazarding guess, may be someone forgot to delete their browser History…
This is the flight they do for nervous flyers i think
Cunts.
People who live in Bishops Stortford and fancy a long weekend in Crawley obviously
Easyjet apparently
I bet they do it as a positioning move and since some people use it it’s better than flying empty
I do this daily for work… please don’t judge
pilots, airline staff
Awe me
Perhaps it’s for people like us. Somehow we didn’t realise that we were flying back to Gatwick instead of Stansted until we arrived at the airport. Long journey to retrieve the car and we never spoke of it again!
I once connected through London, flew into Stansted and my flight back to Canada was out of Gatwick… I would have happily taken this flight and relaxed at the pub for a couple hours rather than sit on a bus for almost 3 hours next to a smelly guy and his turkey stuffing sandwich.
