Question

We're off to Holland with work next week, will there be any issues with flying if/when we're at war?

Oh and how do I avoid getting killer neumonia if I get there

Yep, going to Prague on 5th April (doubt if it'll all be over by then).
Just have to check in 2 hours before the flight goes.

I'm off to Paris next weekend but as they aren't being offensive towards Iraq then I guess that I am safe enough.

Cool

Take a bundle of aluminium foil with you, and throw it out of the window regularly to fool the radar on the attacking planes / missiles

But seriously, check in may be a bit longer so I'd get there earlier than normal.

As the old proverb has it -- "do not go out of your way to avoid fate; you may find it has got there before you".

I'm flying out to Toronto on 5th April, and can't see there being many problems to be honest. Maybe slightly higher secuirty, but not much else I doubt.

I'm flying Edinburgh->Gatwick on Saturday and back again on Sunday. Then on the weekend of April the 4th I'm flying down to Cardiff and back.

Not too worried about the Cardiff trip, but I'd like to be avoiding Gatwick next weekend....

Back from LHR on Friday to ABZ, and off to Houston very soon, probably via American Airways, and via Amsterdam.

Hello

I've just been told that I am going to India for work on Sunday for two weeks. Great.

As suggested, I shall take some tin foil cut in strips to throw out whilst I am flying over the middle-east.

On a more serious note, I am actually slightly worried about flying there at this particular time.

Steve.
