Fogs Smothers BAA Website

Check out that nasty scene above. Passengers at Heathrow and Gatwick airports in London, but especially Heathrow, are suffering today and have been for some time. Most of their flights have been canceled due to fog. The trave pandemonium couldn't have descended at a worse time, considering many travelers are trying to make it home for Christmas. Some other UK airports have been affected, but not as heavily.

The chaos caused the website of BAA, the company that operates Heathrow, to crash. So many passengers have been logging on looking for information, that the site eventually imploded and now carries a temporary welcome message with links and basic information. Our deepest condolences go out to those stuck in Travel Hell today--some people don't even enjoy Heathrow when it's running properly.

If anyone out there is currently dealing with this travel hell--grab some WiFi and tell us about it, or just shoot us an email--in these situations venting helps.
