That's one way to avoid Iranian and/or Pakistani air space.

That's why they did it. They discontinued this flight a few days ago due to the airspace issues, and are routing the remaining flights via HNL and SFO.

That's why I wrote it. The other part of the story is that initially they were reprotecting passengers on Air India (or possibly other airlines), now they are just canceling and issuing a refund.

A long ride... faster by car for passengers?
Clearly you've never been in LA traffic  ;D

And where else can you get a view like this cruising at 5K feet?

Flying with 2G speeds as opposed to 5G speeds?  :P
Route hasn't operated since the great dehubbing 8 years ago. Must be aircraft repositioning, but it's an odd one.

LTN is totally random....  if they needed to stop why not LHR
Not so random if you know that they operate flights from Luton

Besides I'm sure it's cheaper landing departing
Make stuff happen.
