Because we live on a globe and Iceland sits between us and the USA?

Generally good, though for safety concerns you might want to double bag it.

I note more and more cynicism and negativity in these forums every day.

That's a great one. It looks like an apocalyptic event.

So is the ash cloud blowing in this direction, and is it going to cause flight problems, as I will be flying in a week!!

PermaBanned · 23 May 2011 at 23:13

God, how is this thread essentially now four pages of people telling us they're going to be flying at some point in the near future?

[TW]Sponge · 23 May 2011 at 23:14

Does anybody know a site with a live satellite feed of Europe?

Just wait until they start saying they can't fly or get back home.

ChroniC · 23 May 2011 at 23:15

I wasn't telling you that at all, in fact I pretty sure I was asking if it was going to effect flights, obviously the reasons for that were clear '

[TW]Fox · 23 May 2011 at 23:18

Guys I flew last week OMG so close I COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN THIS.

Dave85 · 23 May 2011 at 23:22

Sucks to be honest my bro will be stuck in london an extra night easy jet flight to Edinburgh cancelled. Seen the train prices are insane. Megabus is even pricey.

Bradmax57 · 23 May 2011 at 23:22

I couldnt care less about getting stuck out there for a while, last thing i want is to be sat in departure for hours on end or worst case go home and go to work on wed
