What are the chances I'm flying tonight on VS671?

Hi all,

Can't get any useful information from either the Virgin web-site or Heathrow web-site. Virgin's phone lines are jammed, can't even get through to their menu options, just rings and rings.

I don't really want to make preparations to fly tonight if it's just going to be cancelled. I'm on VS671 (LHR-NBO) departing at 2120 tonight. I see that yesterdays flight was cancelled.

I'm flying upper and have a car booked, so I'm surprised I've not had a call from Virgin - but hey ho.

Anyone have any suggestions? :(

Yeah, I've had a look on the Facebook one - it seems to pretty much just have the same info that was posted on the Heathrow Airport web-site earlier this morning.

Pretty surprised Virgin are not using text message alerts to tell people what's going on.

The VS website flight status is currently showing VS671 as "CANCELLED"

Unless the aircraft is at Heathrow, it's unlikely to be going tonight as LHR is not accepting any arrivals today.

Ah yes, that must have just changed, as I just had a txt from Virgin to say it is cancelled due to yesterdays adverse weather!

Oh well! At least I now don't have to pack a suitcase, yay!

Heathrow is only currently closed to arrivals. Some flights are departing. Be warned the roads around LHR are very congested, especially the central terminal areas. Public transport is the best option.
