Someone really doesn't want my parents to get home on Tuesday (flying BA to Heathrow)...

What I like is that Italy has fined Irish airline Ryanair 3m euros (£2.5m) for failing to help some passengers after cancelling their flights during the crisis.

That will teach the airlines to abandon their passengers. ( as one that was abandoned by Virgin Atlantic)

It's never ending, my Mum has another 20 days or so left here, I hope it's cleared by then.

Northern Britain's airports now mainly shut.

I just wonder how BA can survive this.

They have more strikes, and now the cloud. Seriously, this airline needs to fail and quickly. WTF would anyone ever want to book with theme ever again?

They aren't cheap and the service is crap.

I managed to fly Bristol >> Newark yesterday morning (Thankfully!) although the same flight today was canceled, so it looks like we got out just in time.
