Doesn't Cardiif have the equipment to assist you guys to land these aircraft in fog. I see BMi has cancelled most of their flights to Cardiff today.
Regards and Merry Christmas to all

There are legal and operational minima below which it is deemed unsafe to operate.
Better your daughter is able to travel safely another day than perhaps have
all your Christmases ruined for the rest of your life. Be thankful that in
this country we have high operational standards, that is why air travel is
as safe as it is.
Have a happy and safe Christmas.
