Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I reckon johnboy's timed it perfectly and the runway will be clear.

More importantly, he has clearance for takeoff into 3ft of fresh powder.

And I am off to Turin 1st thing tomorrow morning Shocked

Currently they have the following note on their website:

Quote:
27/01/2006
WARNING TO PASSENGERS
The airport is open.
Due to bad weather, incoming and outgoing flights may be delayed for snow clearance operations and according to changes in weather conditions.


Their board seems to show inbound flights unaffected, but it doesn't seem as though much is taking off so hopefully at 10:00am tomorrow morning we will be landing.

This is just so typical of Ryanair. All other carriers manage to take off and land but, one flurry of snow, and Ryanair cancel everything. As I said, Ryanair are great but, if anything goes wrong, they are c***.

No, seriously, Ryanair have a habit of cancelling flights due to "bad weather" when other carriers manage to take off and land with no problems!

is it because they don't want to risk one of their planes being fog or snow bound at the airport it lands at - far better to have it available for another route, whereas other airlines have flexibility in their schedules which allows other planes to compensate better if one plane is stranded?
another reason to not go ryanair!

jb1970, as happened in great number last week. Over-rosetered pilots ran out of flying hours: result being cancelled flights as they had no-one to fly them.

Spoken today to a friend who lives near Bergamo, they have had 600mm of snow. It has already been snowing non-stop for 36 hours and the forecast is for it to snow all tomorrow as well. That might have contributed to the delays Confused
