Website seems to show some delays on flights due to land shortly, but nothing more than about an hour, don't know if it's an issue with weather or not. No London flights showing as being delayed though!!!

Errrr, we have had a bit of snow, most inconvenient Wink
Took me five hours yesterday to get poor guy with a broken pelvis to airport only to be informed that his flight was cancelled Crying
It is absolutely chucking it down with snow at the moment in Bansko, 2-3 cm in half an hour and still coming... 40cm forecast for the mountain Razz
Wendy and i have just got in with two parties before it really started, but have got a return tomorrow and trip up to Boro ???? we hope Mad
Ooooooooooo, ...

Yep... boarding though, hit a rock under the snow doing what boarders do... you know... falling over...
Only joking, really felt for the guy as his insurance would not stump up for his repatriation, finding some reason as insurers do for not paying... He has chipped the pelvis, and has a bone fragment floating... He was in agony, could not stand or walk unaided... I felt terrible just leaving them to the mercy of Easyjet...

A lot of easyjet delays are from the knockon delays from Yesterday, the airport was closed for some seven hours to clear the runways, did you notice the delay to the Air Bulgaria flight from Varna to Gatwick, that was showing, coming in at 1745 tonight instead of 1725 yesterday, also whilst I was at Gatwick today, rate of exchange was 1.93 lev to the Pound.
