Re: All flights in the UK grounded until further notice
Hi All
We are out here on our reccie (in the Gold Coast). Been out here 5 weeks and were due to fly home today but after finally getting through to Qantas today have been given a new flight date of 4th May!!!! Hmmm would like to get home to feed the cats (luckily have fab friends/neighbours) but can think of worse places to be stranded!

Re: All flights in the UK grounded until further notice
My family is gutted at the moment, brother and family were due to fly from Sydney to London visa Seoul on Wednesday, now it looks like they might not be able to come at all. We're hoping they can fly next week instead but if they can't then they'll have to postpone until maybe September 
We were so looking forward to their visit, my dad nearly died late last year and to be honest I think this visit is what got him through his time in hospital. Fingers crossed they'll somehow make it

Don't know if this has already been posted but, ......
The last time it erupted it started in Dec 1821…..and went on till Jan 1823
Could you imagine that?!! 2 years of total disruption. Greece, Portugal and Spain rely on the tourist industry and all ready are in a world of financial pain.
Oh well, might become as irrelevent as the swine flu, time will tell.

Latest update from NATS at 22:00 UK time is that the volcano is starting up again so any chance of opening up the aerospace is likely to be short lived!
