Flightline advises passengers that due to heavy snow in Germany, Northern Italy and Ireland, flights are subject to delays and possible cancellations.

In general, if you are due to fly today, the advice remains to check the latest information about your flight direct with your airline or tour operator, as in some cases, they may decide to divert, reschedule or cancel a flight. For example, even if London Heathrow Airport is open, flights may be affected by disruption at other airports.

Keep an eye on the latest weather forecasts as the situation can change at short notice.

If you’re travelling to or from the airport by car, check the Highway Agency’s advice for motorists – Make Time for Winter.

Check the latest flight information direct with your airline or tour operator, preferably at their website, as phone lines may be extremely busy. Unless the airline or tour operator says that your flight is affected, you must arrive at the airport as normal.
