    If I were set to travel, I'd be throwing an eye over ferry schedules out of Dublin and Rosslare right about now.

    So that's that, the airlines are making no attempt to fly out later in the day or anything? Bristol airport reopened at about 2 AFAIK.

    No, they rebook you. I got Birmingham at 3pm, delayed to 4.10 then cancelled altogether. Then rebook birmingham tomorrow 6.30am. Cant see it going though. No extra flight to Bristol. There's one in the morning and it's full. A lot of tired and dissappointed and totally pissed faces out there today.

    Just talking to a friend who is flying over to London and they are cleared to fly. Seeing as Bristol is open now I reckon the remaining flights should be fine.

    It's a pain in the arse though for anyone who had booked this morning though.

    I can understand that. Forecast for Birmingham does look a bit 50:50. Snow looks like it'll ease off tonight and resume again tomorrow morning. So you could well get over. Fingers crossed for you anyway.
