Fog grounds London flights
Yet again, the weather is causing chaos in London. This time, it is FOG.
Pretty much ALL domestic flights within the UK have been cancelled, and most flights to European destinations, such as Paris, have also been cancelled. BAA state that there are train services to these destinations that travellers may use as an alternative means of getting there.
What they fail to state, is that most of the trains to these destinations are already booked out. What else to do?
Hire a car? Don’t even think about it. The car hire companies have no vehicles left.
For those with a car - don’t expect a smooth getaway. There are redictions of a 7 hour “peak hour” today, starting at 14:00.
The alternative?
Find a pub, and enjoy a beer, whilst gazing out at the fog and mist passing by.
Gotta love the UK. Nowhere else do simple weather events wreak so much havoc! 3 feet of snow in Sweden - no problem. There may be 10-15min delays for flights going in or out of their airports. What on earth will the poor Swedish travellers do with themselves for that unfortunate waiting time? Laughing at the British would be a good start!
