Sausage Dog Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 am due to fly to corfu 2 weeks on monday and thats been booked since last year, just hope it all clears up so we can all get on with our holidays and what not Thing is, and I don't want to sound pessimistic, but you could fly out with no problem, and then find out that the wind changes back to our direction and/or the volcano erupts again.

HeadingNorth Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Without wanting to sound like the Prophet of Doom... The best-case scenario is that the wind changes, the ash blows away Northwards, flights resume some time tomorrow and that's an end of it.
