Many flyers have started to worry about how long they will be stuck in the airport for, however we'd say your best bet is to contact your airline as soon as possible.

Please check with your airline in relation to the status of your flight & monitor flight information screens. We regret any inconvenience that the @IAApress radar issue caused to your travel plans this morning.
