I'm crew for FR and we have been told flights will still remain cancelled until 1300 on thursday, the only activity we are likely to see until then will be positioning flights to bring passengers back to the UK.

What makes you say that? NATS control UK airspace and ensure the smooth passage of aircraft in to and out of UK airspace. Without NATS, no aircraft could safely navigate or transit through it. It's a technical and highly skilled role. Bear in mind the decision to close UK airspace was on the basis of known information and information provided by the Met Office and other key organisations. To suggest they are put on the dole is a little nieve.

FR is the IATA code for Ryanair. The ICAO code is RYR.
EDIT: You beat me by 10 seconds Gower!

Thanks for the flightradar24 link. I am completely and utterly hooked on this site now and find it totally fascinating. I even went without my healthy 20 minute walk tonight (despite the fact it is freezing cold, snowing and hailstones in Aberdeen today and yesterday) and spent the time addicted the the flight radar!!
Thanks for that info, I notice on the web our flight is already being resold, how can this happen? we will have to pay to transfer our return flight also

The poor passengers on the BA Calgary to Heathrow flight have really been on a magical mystery tour.

According to NATS update at 2300 on 20 April there is still an area over the north west of Scotland which continues to be affected by a dense concentration of volcanic ash and has not re-opened yet.

I dont think its fair to suggest NATS/the met office should be sacked. The existing advice was to avoid flying through any volcanic ash. Now they have had time to do tests and reassess the effects they have been able to relax the rules but they HAD to err on the side of caution initially.
My understanding is that if your flight today/next few days had already been cancelled then you have to buy another ticket and be refunded later but if it hadn't yet been cancelled then the existing ticket is still ok, is that right does anyone know?

Thats what happened to me, my original flight was for today Leeds/Malaga with Jet2 they cancelled a couple of days ago so rebooked with Easyjet Manchester/Malaga Thursday. Full refund from Jet2 including return flight.
Looking OK so far for Thursday flight.
