to be enjoying the beautiful, clear, plane-free skies and wish they could continue forever?

People would get over flying and just get boats and trains instead

nonono!

We have saved up for 4 years for our holiday in July, its all im looking forward to.

The blue skies are absolutely glorious tho yes

YANBU

I would like the skies to be plane free all the time. Except when I want to go on holiday

More seriously, apparently 1 in 3 people who flies into Heathrow is only in transit not even coming to the UK. And quite a lot of planes are only half full as well. That is just madness.

YABU. Planes are a wonderful invention!

Think how good the past 2 days have been for the environment .

I do like planes though (watching them, not going on them).

YANBU I hate planes and flying.

YANBU

We live in SW London and are not missing the three-planes-a-minute-constant-drone at all.

Feel sorry for the people missing their holidays or stuck in the airports though.

YABU!

However I am sooo enjoyng vapour trail free skies and the eerie quietness, I don't even notice plane noise normally but I really notice that it's gone.

YANBU. I live under a flightpath. Peace is very strange

YABU.

I went to Vietnam this year without flying so no-one needs to get planes to go to exotic places ... surely it's just about priorities?

It's wonderful, I'm not sure my town would cope without the airport but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I did think today would have been a brilliant day to visit Kew gardens of Richmond Park in unusual tranquility.

Brussels is strangely quiet today as well...

And how long did it take to get to Vietnam?

YANBU. I live 10 mins from Brussels airport though not under the flight path. I hadn't realised how much I DO notice them. Peace and quiet and birdsong this morning.

Only if my husband can come home first.

I haven't had to turn the TV up once today! French doors been open as well

YABU

I live near Heathrow though and it is very odd not to see planes

Even the RAF are quiet today. I've certainly no heard any planes at all

it is gorgeously quiet - we live on a main road in SWLondon and i always thought the low level noise was background traffic. it must be the planes, it is SO quiet (unless that is all the locals are stuck on their swanky easter breaks )

but pity the people who are missing loved one's weddings this weekend, plus my sister is desperate for her holiday and she flies to Italy on sunday.

so... planes should be reserved ONLY for lovely holidays or lovely events and should be restricted to 2x year each!

yes, please say how you got to Vietnam and how long it took? (That is, if you started at UK..if you live in Bangkok, then we can probably guess!)

I live under a flightpath too and I rather like sitting outside and watching planes. I'm not quite so fond of the ones that sound as though they're about to land on my roof however.

balloons are still flying

I'll be pleased to have them back. I like planes and I like flying.

I think it's great, however with no planes my dh would have no job and we would have no money so I can't agree with the forever bit!
