    Ryanair have cancelled all Bournemouth flights to Portugal, Spain and Mallorca today. Flybe have a message saying they are flying at the moment, but the news says airports are starting to shut in Spain so I guess that messages about Southampton flights will start to change soon :(

    Fingers crossed BB,you've got a couple of days yet, and the Spaniards are pretty quick to open their airspace as soon as possible...
    Suze-glad to hear the flight went well,was thinking of you!

    We go to Majorca on 29th and I have just entered all our passport details onto the tour operators site.

    where are you going to? We (hopefully) are going to Cala Bona on the east coast.

    My concern is that the airports closed only 2 hours ago. They are re-assessing at 6pm local time, if it goes on for another 24 hours then our Monday morning flight will be looking dodgy. The only small saving grace is that we have 11 nights there and will have to keep everything crossed for a flight within a day or so afterwards. As OH has already said he will just go back to work it is going to be a lonely and pants time if it all falls through :(
