    Volcanic Disruption, Air Travel Hong Kong.

    Hi Everybody,
    I was one of the lucky ones and was only delayed 24hrs coming in from Sharm el Sheik,however talking to one the guys at work,he told me his sister's mate was kicked out of there hotel and informed to get in touch with the British Consul for advice, He went on to say that they where sent to a tented camp area,as a emergency measure until the UK airspace was open, can anybody confirm this,or is it a wind up??????

    Many Thanks
    Tony.
