Some cancellations due to Fog etc at LHR 15-16 Nov

[stifle]

I am hearing that airlines have been asked to cancel some flights tomorrow and Friday due to expected fog and knock-on ATC implications.

[OPebble]

and general strikes in a lot of European countries.?

I know fog is predicted for London tonight and tomorrow morning. So that doesn't surprise
me. But I also know there are some (pointless) strikes taking place across the continent.

Noooooooooooooooo!

Maybe I am jinxed!

Hopefully we won't get delayed on Saturday 17th, flight to LCA is leaving quite early, 08:40am

On the bright side however at least we may be able to sample the Flounge properly if we do.

I bet that if there are delays though we won't be notified in any way and expected to wake up at silly o'clock in the morning and turn up at the airport on time like last time

I also hope this doesn't ruin my 100% upgrade success at Hilton T4 either

Panny boy, please make sure to list all your flights on here. This way we can avoid being on the same plane with you. .

Panny's predictably poor plane performance predicates prior prosaic precautions?

I had the same thought. I wonder if the airline will understand when I call up and say "I need to change my flight - it's on the same day as Panny's."

I'm booked on BA 362 tomorrow, which was cancelled almost exactly 24 hours before expected departure. Looks that BA have been quick on the trigger to proactively cancel flights.

EDIT: My clock was off--it was cancelled about 21 hours before departure.

I really hope they don't cancel my flight, the whole point of the trip is to attend a christening on Sunday

So should I be worried in a couple of weeks?

[surryson]

Just over 33 round trips cancelled tomorrow from LHR.

ATC planning to impose a flow rate of about 50% of normal ops.


LGW currently unaffected.

Glad I have arrived back home today from TXL then. Absolutely perfect flying conditions except for wrong wind directions requiring U turns at each end.
