Due to fly to Edinburgh tomorrow and rather than waste time getting to Luton is it likely that the flight wll be cancelled?

Have you thought about ringing the airport to establish the current/latest flight delays?

Luton's closed at the moment - I'd check first thing before heading there

It stopped snowing here an hour ago and no more is expected. Can't see there being any problems tomorrow.

Make sure you take your driving licence and a credit card. Will mean you can drive a hire car back instead of having to hitch-hike. i know this from experience.

I flew to Edinburgh, on my return Luton had been shut, hence having to hitchhike. Not much fun.

I'd seriously consider getting the train for a journey like that.

Doesn't take too long from somewhere like MK.
