Looks like I'm the first victim. Flight to Chambery cancelled due to adverse weather there when we were about to board. Flight delayed an hour and then cancelled as airport has night restriction on flights.
Think I'll go sledging tomorrow!

KevinC,
Out of curiosity, which flight were you supposed to be on, and from where? And have they guaranteed you a seat on a replacement flight tomorrow? Was the sledging a joke? Surely you're still going out there?

It was Jet2 Newcastle to Chambery. Was due to land around 4 but the airport only operates in daylight so had to be cancelled today.
It's supposedly going tomorrow at 7am but we can't get to the airport at 5am. The Metro isn't running at that time and the roads here are really bad - if it snows again which it looks like doing, the roads won't be passable at the time for a taxi.
It may have been possible to go but it's really tricky so we've decided we'll get our refund and maybe try again later in the season.
To be fair to Jet2 they've done the best thing in the circumstances, getting the flight out early so people should get tomorrow afternoon in, just unfortunate how much snow there is here for us.

You poor things - it must be bad out there to cancel your flight so the transfer would not have been too good either. You have already lost a day so you have probably done the right thing if you are able to take the holiday another time. You could always get down to Weardale tomorrow!!

KevinC,
I'm really, really sorry you've missed your holiday. I hope you get another one later on.
The British weather forecast is pretty bad for the next week or so. I'm getting pretty worried about it, especially as they say there might be blizzards. And people here have been panic food buying in case we get totally snowed in. Living in the country is no joke when you get snowed in.
