Heathrow, Gatwick and City Airports will close at 1.00am and are expected to re-open at 7.00am. It will be interesting to see where the long-hauls, which will have been in the air for some hours by now, will end up.

I’m on the west coast of the USA right now… Most of the earlier UK bound flights on Sunday took a cautious approach and cancelled – a couple of BAs in long term parking here at LAX, plus UA and NZ didn’t go. Not sure whether VS got both their LHR flights away, or just the later one. Most later evening flights to the UK got away on the presumption that the 0700 reopening would happen.

Anyway, even though the UK seems to be open again, many of the airlines are backed up on getting passengers back to the UK – now, how do I spend the next day and a half before I can fly?? God bless volcanos – sometimes!!! 😉
