To Germany tomorrow ... perhaps.

I am due to fly to Germany early tomorrow morning, unfortunately it remains to be seen if and when I will actually make it off the ground.
For the past few days most of London and the South-Eastern surrounding area [where Heathrow is] has been covered by "dense fog". British Airways (which is the main user of Heathrow) have cancelled a large percentage of their flights during this time: ALL domestic flights and most flights to Paris and Brussels (Claiming EuroStar is a viable alternative), as well as quite a number of "short haul" services. They fly 4 flights to Hamburg a day; today my flight number (the first of the day) was cancelled along with the last flight, however the two in the middle did depart. 2/4 ain't so bad? Perhaps. Yesterday ONLY my flight number left, and all the others were cancelled, meaning that there were no flights from Heathrow to Hamburg by BA for about 30+ hours. The good news is that according to the BA website at the moment they are "intend to operate 95% of short haul services tomorrow" (except flights to All Paris and Brussels are cancelled and domestic will start after midday).

The "fun" part - They are saying "call and confirm the status of your flight before departing for the airport, and don't travel to the airport if your flight is cancelled". However, to get to the airport on time I have to leave at about 5am. The Customer Service webpage shows the lines open at 6am.

The Irony: London has probably the most airports of any city - there are Five in the surrounding areas. British Airways, the big, reliable, major British Airline operates primarily out of Heathrow (and unsurprisingly are the airports main user).
The other 4 airports only have minor disruptions, some no cancellations at all.
I chose BA because of the "convenience of Heathrow" (it's on the tube line) and because BA were a 'proper' airline. Had I chosen a different airline and/or a different airport, this whole fog situation might not have been any concern to me.

Finally, amusingly, Stefan is due to arrive into Heathrow at 2pm and leave on the 5pm flight to Hamburg. I didn't have time to ask him, but I suspect he is flying British Airways as well. I really hope I'm not still waiting at Heathrow when he gets there, however it's possible that somewhere between 0 to 2 of us make it to Hamburg tomorrow, which could mess up plans a little. [But again, going by their 95% claim, perhaps it will all be ok)

Other than the flight concerns? I was at work until 7pm today, making sure things were sorted during my time away. We went down to the pub around midday and about half the team went home from there. I seem to have a habit of suddenly finding all these things that need doing before I leave 20 minutes before I was planning on leaving. Or maybe my problem is the way I classify something as 'necessary'.
