If anyone has booked this you need to get in touch with American Airlines/your agent - my travel agent reckoned you need to claim money back from travel insurance but another said they may transfer your flight to London or Gatwick. Real pain as was about to book NY trip and Stansted so much more convenient.

    As Hammy says not a case for travel insurance at all, if an airline cancels a flight they will offer alternative flights from another airport or they will refund anyone who has booked but does not want to accept the alternative.

    That's fine by me as Delta and Continental will still be flying from there.

    Ditto
    No transatlantic flights from Stansted at all now!

    The palava of traipsing across to Gatwick or Heathrow is enough to put us off going to the US, it just wouldn't be worth it for anything less than 2 weeks.
    It takes us just under an hour to get to Stansted, took 4 hours to get to Gatwick last time we went, and it's longer if the M25 is really bad! Last night there were 10 mile tailbacks in both directions to the Dartford crossing according to the travel report on the radio!
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
