News says that things will be a go tomorrow...airlines say otherwise???? as the flight tomorrow morning is cancelled there will be a backlog of people trying to get a flight. I will not be going now as there is a possibility of the follow up ash cloud delaying returns next week.
Think the confusion with the airlines will be the lack of planes in the correct places to go to the right places - off to airport tomorrow fingers crossed

Just on Ten News - Force to fly out in the morning Virgin to resume lunch time. A cynic would think they jumped the gun a bit on this one. Easy decision with an upside for the carriers - free up aircraft to clear the backlog in the east with extra services were put on today.
