Status: offline 		A British Airways flight from London City Airport and destined for Düsseldorf in Germany landed in Edinburgh by mistake, after the flight paperwork was submitted incorrectly.

The passengers only realised the error when the plane landed and the "welcome to Edinburgh" announcement was made.

Sophie Cooke, a 24-year-old management consultant, travels from London to Düsseldorf each week for work.

She said when the pilot first made the announcement that the plane was about to land in Edinburgh everyone assumed it was a joke. She asked the cabin crew if they were serious.

The pilot then asked passengers to raise their hands if they wanted to go to Düsseldorf.

Everyone raised their hands

There is absolutely no truth in the rumour that the British Parliament was directly involved in the flight planning.

Best wishes,
Steve
