Total Chaos


Airport bus is on time - but then there is no other traffic


Efficient check-in but the machine won't accept my passport - it turns out Heathrow is still CLOSED


We depart on time - there was snow on the runway, it was snowing some more, it was minus (lots), it had been dark since October - but we took off on time


In Tromsø waiting for onward flight to Oslo

In Oslo - it does not look good - no SAS flights into or out of LHR today - except for SK811 at five o'clock and I am booked on that one!


Several hours later - and we are still waiting for LHR to give us a confirmed landing slot.  The gent on the right got notification that his RETURN flight from London had been cancelled - so nothing to do but take the next back to Stockholm.  The lady is trying to arrange a taxi from Heathrow to Southhampton for three o'clock in the morning.


Eventually we board - and as we take off (an hour later) the purser informs us that we are heading into "total chaos"
