Spanish Airports Open
Hello All,
The only airports open for American flights are in Spain. It is possible to get a train from Madrid to Katowice but it a long way so allow 2 days for the journey and it is not a direct service !!! The European airlines are complaining that the restrictions are unreasonable. But Governments are being careful because plane crashes would be a problem (English understatement).
Europeans can get to Poland by train or car, it just takes a long time, is very tiring and costs lots more.
Good luck to everyone trying to travel.

I hope you get on it, Paul... and the same for the rest of us going over. Anyone heard from anyone there now? I'm marking exams etc so am not following TiMS closely these days.

Sorry to hear that, Brynn
I hope you can make alternate arrangements, Brynn, now that the airports are opening up some.

Corridors open for flights
The good news is that air corridors are open for flights and all airspace above 20000 feet is open. It may take 5-10 days to get over the backlog but the end is in sight unless the big volanco next the the current small one decides to erupt.
