Snow closes Luton airport

A plane from Geneva is diverted to Gatwick and other flights are cancelled as snow falls in Bedfordshire.

Skiers in plane drama

Hundreds of people returning from a ski holiday watched in horror as fuel leaked from the wing just after take off. The plane circled to loose weight and then landed safely.

So what?

In a bizarre comparison Sea France say they can transport 5 people across the channel for less that the cost of Ryanair taking a pair of skis to The Alps.

Channel Tunnel at a standstill

Services were suspended for several hours on Saturday after a train broke down in the tunnel. It disrupted the journey of many people driving to the Alps for the half term break. We have a report from the terminal.
