Yes, currently lots of German Airports are closed (Frankfurt, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Berlin...). airports in the South like Munich or Stuttgart are still open at present (but probably will close sometime later on). The best you can do is keep checking the website of the airport you are travelling to. Could be a good chance that they re-open by Saturday or Sunday when the cloud has passend. Regards, Frank

So, coming from Africa and the Middle East is probably OK. From North America and Northern Europe there's probably a problem.

All airports in northern Germany were closed during the night. Frankfurt followed this morning 8:00 am. Munich ist still open. But this seems to be only a matter of time, as the ash cloud is moving to the south east! Even Angie on her trip home from Arnie will have to land in Munich today! ;-) Josef -- Keine Sicherheit ohne Sch�uble: GNUPG/PGP-Key unter http://www.josef-kleber.de/pgp/Josef_Kleber_News.asc DSA 1024 / 0xF4B1EA2A / F832 6058 319E FFD4 0EFF 088C 521B 40D4 F4B1 EA2A

Not if Heathrow flights are going anywhere but north. According to the met maps, it was almost night-time Thursday before the cloud even approached southern England. Still can't see a thing above Heathrow 9 a.m. Friday. At only 18,000 ft. it must be an extraordinarily fine cloud!? Surreyman

Chunnel & ferries inevitably over-booked. We're marooned! Surreyman |
