Just on midnight here in Paris, and it's Christmas Eve. My brother flew from Manchester, UK, to London Gatwick this morning and then on to Atlanta and subsequently to Huntsville Alabama. As I type this he's in Atlanta (I hope) having escaped the backlog caused by yesterday's fog in London, ans should soon be safely home with his wife and two sons at 20.30 local time (add six hours for the time in the UK). Quite a trip. IS there anyone else out there flying home long distance for Christmmas?
