Default Airport Delays

Just a warning that there is horrendous fog in the South East affecting arrivals/departures from Heathrow and Gatwick. Delays are up to 6 hours and there are lots of cancellations on all airlines.

There will be a knock-on effect for the rest of the week so if anybody is travelling check out www.baa.com for up to date info on flights.

The site is brilliant as it gives you actual airborne flight times as well as other info. x

Thanks Suzy, its appreciated - I'm going to copy this into the Lounge as well as the Barbie to try and hit a bigger audience, as I know there are likely to be people coming/going across the Atlantic as well.

As of two hours ago - Freezing fog forecast for the next 48 hours at least.

ALL domestic flights on BA cancelled for 21st December.
(Probably other carriers too but got no confirmation yet).

223 BA shorthaul flights were cancelled today.
(Other carriers affected too but have no figures for them)

20,000 passengers stranded at LHR.

BA Longhaul flights are operating until further notice but with severe delays.(And I mean severe).

ALL Longhaul carriers are suffering delays out of LHR tonight and 21st December.
