Its a tough call, do you wait it out to see if your flight does take off. Or do you book a ferry crossing knowing there's a chance that they might get booked up aswell, if waited out.

Go as foot passenger or take the car, so many tough desicions, and when i am shot to peices aswell.

Whats everyone else's idea's, that are travelling from the uk from Saturday onwards. Had a text from a mate who works at Soton airport and he's heard there most probably willn't be anything until Monday at the earliest, hope not for everyone esle.

I guess i am lucky in that EasyJet have said on their website they offer all volcano related cancellations a free transfer within 30 days or a refund. And my hotel is booked on an 02 money card which has less than £10 on...so i shouldn't lose any money if the worst happens and i will probably just re-book in a week or two time.

I'm not giving up hope though, it's just hard waiting as i don't think i will know for sure until maybe Sunday. Again, good luck for the weekend flyers.

When I saw Cattales thread entitled "420 cancelled" a couple of weeks ago I thought "news to me". Now I'm beginning to think she did know something the rest of us didn't.

BA have already cancelled all flight tomorrow before the NATS announcement has even been released.

No responses to my charter a coach suggestion. What about postponing to, say, 520?

Did I imagine it or was there a smell of sulphur in my garden an hour or so ago?

Thats ironic that you say that Lem because after I posted it I thought to myself, hum maybe I shouldnt have titled it 420 cancelled. I am pulling for you guys though. I want to be there so bad also.

UK now closed up to 13:00 tomorrow. All indications are that it will continue like this for several days at least. It's overland and over or under water or nothing.

If its not sorted by Monday, it will be nothing for me.
Like Valo said, easyjet will give a full refund. However, I won't be off work again till June.

BA and Ryanair have cancelled all flights for tomorrow (Source : ITV News at 10).

Again, I hope you all make it. Norweigan Met office has released images of the dust cloud, looks like it will be right over England at 18:00 on Sunday.

The question we need to know is when the Volcano itself stops erupting. There is also talk it can trigger a neighbouring volcano to erupt. In a way im glad I didn't go now as I don't think it will be clear on Monday evening even.

Good luck to the rest of you though!

Our flight tomorrow has indeed been cancelled but they've re-booked us for Monday. If that actually happens then it'll be a very short trip, Monday to Wednesday, but at least we'll be there for 4-20. We'll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone else and keep up the good work Hestia and co in our absence.
