      LMAO Apache! Iceland really is becomming a pain to the UK and Europe. First the whole banking mess and now this damned Volcano.

      Air traffic ban is still in place indefinitely.

        I need to take a flight on Tuesday.......

        I have a friend stuck in Denmark and he will have to come back home by car...
        Yesterday I took a taxi in Barcelona and the man told me that loads of people are asking them how much is it to drive to Copenhagen, or to Frankfurt... one of his colleges was driving one to M?nich...
        It costs 3000 € to drive to Denmark by taxi, and apparently a lot of people are choosing this option.

          Wouldn't the trains be cheaper?

            The trains are fully booked. Well in England they are.

            Taxi companies are getting similar requests here. One company in London had a pickup request from Milan lol.

            As long as you're not heading north Minerva you should be fine i presume.

                  I didn't think the ash cloud had made it's way down to Spain.

                  We need the wind to change direction asap.

                      Sounds like Barcelona airport re-opened...and airlines are pushing to remove the ban. However, I'd hate be part of the decision if a plane goes down from engine failure. It's better to be late than...well, you know...a plane crash would really disrupt one's schedule.

                        Apparently a 747 took off from Heathrow this afternoon to do some 'tests'.

                          Royal Navy to the rescue!

                          Three Royal Navy ships will be drafted to help return Britons stranded abroad as UK airspace remains restricted.

                          The move was announced after the UK's emergency committee Cobra met to discuss options in addressing travel chaos caused by a volcanic ash cloud.

                          The ships HMS Ark Royal, HMS Ocean and HMS Albion are heading for Spain and unspecified Channel ports.

                                  Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
