We are flying at 10.20am, from Heathrow to Milan - I am so worried Strom Dennis is going to kibosh it.

Anyone else?

My DC are both due to fly out on a school ski trip tomorrow afternoon, have been checking the weather reports as I'm concerned they will get delayed or cancelled.

I don’t know if they’d be just delayed or totally cancelled.

Yes we’re supposed to be flying to Malaga from Manchester this afternoon. It’s showing as scheduled and the early flights seem to be getting away.

Hope you’re only a bit delayed OP.

EasyJet have already cancelled our flight from Bournemouth. We're making a mad dash to Birmingham to catch a KLM flight via Amsterdam to Geneva! Flights leaving Birmingham so far, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Oh goodness, Littlepic! At least there shouldn’t be much traffic on the road. Hope you get there in time.

I'm not impressed with EasyJet, we only knew it was cancelled thanks to checking following reports in the media, their website has been crashed since yesterday morning and no one is answering the phone either! We've had to spend a lot of money on another flight and now just crossing our fingers!

We took of yesterday after a hour delay and it was windy. That was Gatwick. Hope you all get there!

That’s terrible! We’re with Ryanair who don’t seem to have cancelled anything, but I’m stalking the departure boards every 15 mins.

We are nearing the airport, EasyJet seem to be the only airline which has cancelled lots of flights! Hope you all arrive safely.

Flight was delayed by 2 hours then went back to original time so thank god we didn't just go back to bed! Now saying delayed, but time shows its original departure time, so God knows. We are nearly at Heathrow so will just have to see what happens. God like travel day isn't stressful enough.

Good luck iamblossom. We are in departures having breakfast. Flight still scheduled to leave on time!

Good luck everyone. Our flight from Manchester was fine but the rep has said that lots of flights down south were diverted to Southend.

Landed in Amsterdam! One more flight onto Geneva!

Easyjet cancelled our flights to Seville. Should've been in the air now.

At least we're home to deal with the leaking roof. Thanks Dennis Angry.

Sorry to hear that IamBlossom. We've made it to Geneva and now on route to resort. It's been a very long day!

Kids got away safely from Stansted Airport, airborne now.

We were held on the tarmac for about an hour and a half at Manchester, but the flight was fine.

After a nightmare at Manchester with a ridiculously slow bag drop and security being absolutely terrible (massive backlog of bags to be hand checked, with staff wandering about and being really, really unhelpful and obstructive), our arrival at Malaga was a dream. Currently sitting in the sunshine with hailstorms a distant memory.

So sorry to hear you didn’t get away OP.
