I'm going from Sweden to Italy on Thursday the 22th and back again Thursday the 29th.
Don't know anything if the trip will be cancelled or not.
Trying desperately to come up with a plan B if the überashung is still here...

I'm enjoying an enforced holiday in Stockholm, as it happens. Only came out for a one hour meeting on Thursday, been here since!!

So Iceland is screwing with everyone's airspace over in europe? Maybe the good ole USA should send some troops over an occupy Iceland until they stop that crap. I swear we gotta help the europeans every time they get in trouble.

Excuse my ignorance, but why can't I see the ash cloud?!

I live relatively near Heathrow and see their planes all the time. Over the last few days I've been expecting a huge, rolling cloud of black death to sweep across the sky but so far it's only been clear blue sky with the odd fluffy cloud.

No worries.

The ashes will sneak into your place through the pipes
and, when you are unawarely watching the BBC and
sipping your cup of tea, they will apply on you the Five
Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.

Then you will know for a few seconds what happened
to you. Too short time to call emergencies; too long
time to ponder what... went... wrong.
