The knock on effect of yesterday's emergency landing @bhx_official will be felt today for many holidaymakers with various delays and cancellations. Always check with your #airline before #travel. Operations seem to be recovering well considering and importantly - no injuries

Runway shut at @bhx_official after a light aircraft made an emergency landing. Well over 25 diversions and cancellations so far from destinations like Greece and Turkey. Could have further impact on passengers as crew go out of hours. Check with your airline before travelling

Disruption continues after @NATS system issue yesterday. Advise to check before travelling extremely important. No compensation for passengers but airlines must provide those delayed/cancelled food/drink after 2/3 hours (depends on flight length) and accomodation if over night

It's the busiest day for #travel as millions jet off for #summer fun. Whilst most journeys go without a hitch, pinch points along the way can be frustrating. My best advice - . Remain calm, have patience, be aware staff try to resolve disruption AND remember why you're doing this

#EU announces launch date of much delayed #EES - 12/10/25. Phased approach over 6 months, little info on which entry points will be adopting and when. Means over 12 will have fingerprints/facial biometrics taken. #ETIAS visa waiver launch Oct-Dec 26 cost rises to €20

Business Class - luxury #travel with a seriously hefty price tag! "Unbundled" economy fares have boomed in recent years - cheaper tickets with less perks like seat selection & baggage. Would you buy a similar biz ticket without the swanky lounge etc?@united @Delta think you might

Disruption continues with approximately 19 cancellations and several delays at @MilanBergamoBGY following an incident earlier involving a man sucked into an #aircraft engine. A truly horrific tragedy and terrible for loved ones affected. Some flights have been diverted

21st March saw the unprecedented closure of one of Europe's busiest #airports as @HeathrowAirport lost power, shutting for 16 hours. Thousands of cancelled #flights & stranded passengers. Today a report shows a poorly maintained power substation is to blame
