I have had flights cancelled, but they've been very much on the day cancellations.
I've never had flights cancelled, you know, sort of six weeks before.
eight weeks out.
It hasn't so far caused me any consternation because I've just been rolled onto either a later flight or an earlier flight.
And I think what airlines are doing is sort of basically looking at their schedules and thinking, OK, which flights are less full, where the loading, which is the measure of how busy a flight is, where the loading is a little bit lower.
Could we possibly just remove that from our schedule and then move planes around, possibly moving fleets
putting different airlines or different aircraft on routes, et cetera.
But yeah, it hasn't, I mean, it's all been handled very well as well.
I have to say, you know, these are both with British Airways, these particular flights.
And I have, as I just said, just been rolled onto the next service, an earlier service.
So, so far, there hasn't been a huge impact on me, I would say.
But it is unusual.
It is unusual.
Well, I spoke to an analyst earlier this week, actually.
And so, first of all, Europe is not as badly affected as, say, Asia.
So Asia gets a lot of its jet fuel from the Middle East.
And those are the areas, you know, actually in Asia.
I've been in Korea, actually, for the past few days with Virgin Atlantic.
And in Korea, they're telling civil servants that they actually can't drive to work on specific days to conserve fuel.
So things actually on the ground are kind of much worse in Asia.
