I've just spent the past hour down with her trying to get some sense out of the travel company. They said if it's cancelled to just call and they'll sort everything so thats fine. She actually doesn't even want to go anymore as she's sick of the hassle! And I've just checked and she's not flying. Easyjet are suspended until 1pm tomorrow now.

Flybe are flying from a list of airports tomorrow from 10.05am, so again looking good

Latest update

Since our last statement at 1530 today, the volcano eruption in Iceland has strengthened and a new ash cloud is spreading south and east towards the UK. This demonstrates the dynamic and rapidly changing conditions in which we are working.
Latest information from the Met Office shows that the situation is worsening in some areas. Based on this information, the situation for Northern Irish airports for the morning is uncertain, due to the new ash cloud. The latest information shows that Scottish airports should be available from 0700 and more airspace over England may become available from 1300 although not as far south as the main London airports.
We will continue to monitor Met Office information and the situation is likely to change overnight. We will make a further statement at approximately 0300 (local time), tomorrow, Tuesday 20 April and again at 0700

Gutted!!
