Manchester Airport's website statement says that some scottish flights have been cancelled today and that Manchester is the diversion both in and outbound for some other scottish flights. This has got me a bit concerned now as yesterday the same web statement was really gung ho, basically stating that this is totally different to last year and that they were not anticipating any disruption. We are due to fly out Thurs am to Portugal, fingers crossed.

sarah - It's all down to where the wind blows the ash which is inherently hard to predict. At the moment it's blue skies over Reykjavik. The reported difference is in the volume of ash to make it into the upper atmosphere and it's density so it should by all accounts not get as far nor be as widespread. Scotland is comparatively close to Iceland and the disruption is comparatively mild compared with Eyjafjallajökull last year. I'm fully expecting to get back into the UK from Iceland on Thursday although a friend of mines flight into Glasgow today got cancelled so he's probably going to have to fly into Heathrow tomorrow.

But you can get a good idea from what's happened over the last 24hrs.

That's pretty cool Wayne.
Colin - I think a lot of these airspace closures must be based off the precautionary principle and the available evidence of where and how concentrated the ash is. IIRC Ryanair did similar last year. Airlines can choose to fly in all but the high danger zones according to the BBC.

Barcelona are leaving for London for the Champions League Final 2 days earlier than planned (Tuesday instead of Thursday) so they must have real concerns about conditions later in the week.
