well in todays development The earliest my mum can get home from Shanghai with BA is...    May10th!!!   3 weeks time!!

The Olds are still investigating whats happening with other carriers

My Suggestion, which was initially jokingly said a few days ago was Fly with Emirates to Dubai, then to Istanbul, then Catch the Orient Express to Paris (I think thats where it goes) then Eurostar...   maybe that will end up happening

[philoldsmobile]

on the radio today they were advising people to head for Madrid, where the government have organised 100 coaches to ferry british citizens home..

[FUBAR]

apparantly they've just stated that all UK airports can re-open for flights at 10pm tonight...

Well they would a bit.  But once they drop and some cold air has passed over the blades shattering the glass the engines should start right back up again
