What should have been a 12-hour flight from Britain to Hong Kong turned into a 36-hour ordeal for about 100 passengers stuck aboard a British Airways plane that was forced to divert to Manila due to Tropical Storm Lionrock.
Flight BA031 took off from Heathrow Airport in London at 7.40pm, local time, on Friday and was scheduled to land at the airport at Chek Lap Kok at around 2pm on Saturday, Hong Kong time.
