Wed, 12 Mar, 2008
The UK's stormy weather has caused disappointment for many holidaymakers, reports the Times.
According to the newspaper, 22 flights have been cancelled from London Heathrow Airport this morning because of the storms.
Five flights have been called off from both Birmingham Airport and Leeds-Bradford Airport and one service had been abandoned from Manchester Airport.
However, travellers using London Gatwick Airport, London Stansted Airport, Liverpool Airport and East Midlands Airport were lucky to have had no cancellations.
The newspaper adds that although seven flights were called off from a number of Scottish airports, there were varying reasons, not all down to the severe weather conditions.
Both ferry firms and rail networks have also reported delays to their usual services.
The Highways Agency has reminded drivers to keep a close eye on weather conditions, after a number of vehicles have overturned in the strong winds.
