And hopefully we're gonna have a week in Turkey late Sept early Oct 
High teens low 20's for Barcelona
Just checked flightradar24 and there was a gaggle of BA planes all heading for Heathrow anc their flight plans had them in holding over various positions above the UK.

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
Airspace seems to be open again in the UK.
Looking on the radar live maps it seems you can see quite a few planes having looped in holding patterns before being allowed into the UK.

Most seem to be going straight in now, but before they were going round in circles.

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK

Could we live without flights?

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
Saw a couple aircraft at high altitude in the distance heading north. Nothing else in the sky since and certainly no sign of the normal steady flow of traffic heading east yet...

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
Not that I want it to happen but I wonder where all the fingers will be pointing to if a plane gets into difficulty due to the ash cloud??
