Simon Calder who was in sky news a little while ago said turn up to the airport as normal and if you flight is not going they would have to find you a hotel for the night at their expense and also obliged to give food and drink too?

Edit: Dublin Airport has just said that you now must check with your airline

Shit, just remembered that Numbers and partner was hoping to get back from their holiday in Greece, as his dad is drying in a Dublin hospital, I suppose there's a slim chance they made it back before the system went down.

Flights are still flying, plenty of aircraft in the sky, they're just taking off and landing at a reduced rate. The means only a proportion will be cancelled.

Gatwick said to be operating normally.
