Forecast seems to have been wrong .. no fog in sight . lovely cold and clear morning
I think Fog is a fairly difficult thing to forecast precisely, perhaps some of the more meteorologically inclined folks can explain ... and it looks as though (fortunately) they seem to have got it wrong this morning anyway

I hope my 18.40 to MAD isn't delayed because of this. I only have 1h05 in MAD for my connection...
EDIT: If there are delays, and I am at the airport early, how likely is IB to let me onto an earlier flight, instead of letting me miss my connection? Anyone with experience here?

Bit of a hit or a miss. Snow has caused my wife and I problems twice in the past when flying ABZ - LHR - SIN - SYD. The first time BA were excellent. Turned up early at the airport knowing there was an earlier flight with plenty seats and shifted onto it no problem. The next time we were more relaxed and called BA who said that our original flight would leave on time and therefore would not transfer us. In the end our original flight was 3 hours late in arriving and departed for LHR 4 hours late. In the interim it became apparent that we would not make the SIN connection. and no availability for any later flights that day or the next day. Ended up, at BA's expense, in the Radisson Edwardian at Heathrow overnight and a CX flight via HKG to SYD the next morning. Due to evening arrival in SYD had another forced overnight in SYD instead of what would normally have been an early morning arrival and drive to friends had we caught our original flight. To be fair BA covered all costs and acknowledged that we should have been changed onto the earlier flight. 10,000 BA Miles too for each of us.

Oh and the reason I posted is because I'm about 12 miles from STN and it's foggy here, freezing fog too, really awful so hope there's not too many delays tomorrow.

I reckon 95%+ of folks on here would not have a clue what EGTR is. "Elstree Airfield" surely much better to say??
