Sometimes they divert to Barbados until the sun comes out and it clears up. Not sure why an airport is in a fog prone area.... Yeah, fog is actually a normal thing in Timehri…happens alot.

All I was seeing iwere some mighty cloud formations and nothing else. After about what felt like an eternity going in circles, we were told that the fog at Timheri airport was so severe that we had to turn around and head for port of spain. Imagine the panic and frustration that erupted on the plane,after being told that some other airline would be chartered to take us out of trinidad. Eventually we landed at Piarco and everyone on the plane was in a state of panic. ( when will they be getting to Guyana ). The good news came when the captain announced that the fog in guyana had lifted and we would be on our way after refuling the aircraft. We got to Guyana a bit tired and sleepy several hours behind schedule, but otherwise ok.

Heathrow: 3 days of all BA domestic flights cancelled, and then some. Shudder. G's mom made it in yesterday - hooray! As for Grenada - sounds like they have lovely people! Glad they took care of you. Too bad the airlines were less diligent. Lots of travel horror stories at the moment; have you seen the news about the fog over here?
