Monaco Flights - potential for ash disruption?!?
Discussion
I would be worried. Canneries airspace closed at 0400GMT this morning, Casablanca has also closed some of their airspace. And the ash maps provided by the met office do not make pleasant viewing.

Is anyone who's going worried about this? I'm flying to Milan early on Saturday morning and then taking a hire car down...
Was considering buying Eurostar tickets as contingency incase all the air space gets shut down...
Where are you based as someone has mentioned a Ferry?(To the South of France or a days driving across France to get to the Cote De Zur??) Not heard of French airspace being closed so Nice airport is a possibility but Eurostar is your safest bet. I have family stuck in Marbella as all flights from Malaga were cancelled today BUT a friend managed to get to Alicante this morning so it is a bit hit & miss.Was considering buying Eurostar tickets as contingency incase all the air space gets shut down...

Worst case a ferry across is shockingly cheap, £7.50 each way with Norfolkline today
Followed by approx 900 mile each way drive, its a slog in one hit, used to do it overnight when heading down to Grasse, get a late afternoon ferry and blat through the night, get there for breakfast !Obiwonkeyblokey said:
Graham weve been looking at it and decided that a Thurs night crossing followed by a Fridat Blat in the S4 should see us having dinner in NIce!
