what happens to the passengers when that happens - do they get a free lift to where they're supposed to be?
Usually, unless your flying Ryanair. Then aslong as your within 500 miles of your destination, 'your close enough'
Yesterday there was a ring of fog going all accross the golfcourse where I work/next to where I live and it looked beautiful, there was a herd of deer running through it too.
Fog halts seasonal getaway
Passengers hoping to make a Christmas getaway are facing serious delays after thick fog caused numerous flight cancellations at Britain's busiest airports.
Heathrow has been forced to cancel 69 flights, the majority to short haul or domestic destinations. Many more flights were delayed.
A total of 30, mainly British Airways flights, were cancelled at Terminal 1.
At Terminal 2 there were 21 cancellations, 17 at Terminal 4 and just one at Terminal 3.
An airport spokesman said: "Our message to passengers is to check with your airline in advance.
"The cancellations are all fog related. Everything at the terminals appears to be running smoothly."
A total of 181,000 people are expected to fly in and out of the airport.
At Gatwick 10 BA flights and five Easyjet flights were cancelled, again with many more delayed. A spokeswoman for the airport said: "There have been some cancellations, but there is not a big problem with delays."
City Airport in London said no flights had been able to take off or land all day due to heavy fog.
Approximately 30 flights had been due to arrive or depart, a spokeswoman said. "We have had no flights at all, in or out of the airport because of the weather. Conditions are not improving at the moment, there is very heavy fog and we are trying to book passengers on to other flights," she said.
