Managed to get back last night on the daft o’clock flight (00:30) to Ercan but people in Istanbul were being warned that their flights would be delayed because of the storms.

Countries that have huge amounts of snow in Europe dont close the airports very often they have equipment to clear it. Why not Istanbul?

Perhaps they don’t have “huge” amounts of snow?

Well finally the flight due to arrive at 8.45 Ercan this morning is just about to take off 10.15am , but not before windows cleared of snow. So that was a 12 hour delay in UK (Anadolu) rang to say don't go to Stansted. Then eventually told to go to Stansted. Twice "bumped" off the plane in Stansted whilst Sabina/Anadolu sorted planes out at their end. Hours later allowed to board Sabina plane to Ercan but long wait. Praying Sun will stay out at least when they arrive at Ercan, just to prove we do have some, as next two days supposed to be rain. What happened to the days when flying was so lovely, stress less and comfortable.
