Not the most efficient method of getting from London I would have thought. Surely a coach would be a better option?

Whilst this is true experience with KLM/BA/AF over the last few years says otherwise.
Write to the airline with receipts of things like taxi fares, food bills and you will find them surprisingly compliant.
Got delayed in Amsterdam in 2015 on the way back from Kenya due to fog in the UK and they refunded all receipts submitted and gave us £250 KLM/AF vouchers which we used to go away the following year.

Yeah I think most are more generous than what they are legally obliged to provide. My daughter was offered accommodation by Easyjet in Edinburgh last night and a rebooking to this morning but that would have been too late.

That's what happens when just over half the country don't care about those who take flights or holidays abroad

Sorry, haven't the foggiest
And yes, yes I will be disappointed with that post
You just can't mist an opportunity to take the piss can you?
Why would they not let you in ? is tourism going to stop once we leave the EU .? I think Spain and a few other EU countries would have something to say about that ![/QUOTE]

Untie your knickers.
I am aware it's a sensitive subject in here but it was very toungue in cheek, should have known better really.
I was meant to fly to Paris in August with easy jet. They cancelled about 40 odd planes mine being one of the last. All their staff had gone home as they could not cope. Left us to look for alternative flights which there were none. yes refunded my flight costs but not the hotel we had booked costs, not their fault as it was the weather. I was told that their planes do not fly to Paris then London all day but actually may fly to Paris , Paris to Berlin, Berlin to Madrid then Madrid to London before back to Paris. On a positive note My wife who paid for the hotel was able to claim subsequential costs via my credit card. The company gave her a full refund over £400. might be worth trying this.

Seems they are obliged to book her onto another airline and or pay for the hotel?
While talking of flights i'm gutted Monarch went bust as it was superior to Easyjet and my yearly flights to Turkey were cheap with great flying times. I didn't realize what good deals i was getting until it's gone.Such a shame BA took the slots.Rip off prices. Was hoping Wizz Air or Jet2 would snap them up
Yeah we’ll have a go at claiming the new flight cost from them........
All modern aircraft can land/take off in thick fog as long as the Airport has the right equipment, which Gatwick has......however in thick fog, getting to and from the runway from the gate is the biggest issue as that is mostly done by sight. Therefore ATC will reduce the number of movements primarily for that reason, hence why some planes fly and others are cancelled.
