Dont worry there is a wind speed for each type of aircraft above which they cannot take off or land, Pilots are not suicide jockeys and most have homes and family's to get back to so they wont risk their own necks let alone yours

things must be brewing as our family arrived 54 minutes early on the LBA (LeedsBradford) to TFS (tenerife) flight this morning !

Glad we are all safely here in sunny Tenerife but good luck to all those flying this weekend and early next week

Yes, there is going to be some long transatlantic crossings this week going to the carribeean and states...

Certainly not looking forward to it

It was brewing on Friday , although at ground level it didn't feel more than just breezy.
The flight took 3 and a half hours from Doncaster to Malaga due to the stong head wind blowing - making it late for our departure - It took us 2 hours 10 mins on the return from Malaga to Doncaster.
Shortest time I've ever flown back from Spain.
