My daughter flew home from Toronto to Glasgow last night and had a good view of the Icelandic volcano from her window seat as they flew North of Iceland and around the ash plume.

The only other route options appear to be well South depending on the extent of the ash cloud over Spain/Portugal.

North of Iceland seems to be the way that most trans-Atlantics are going according to RadarVirtuel.com, which I guess is why there are 4 hour+ delays on this route due to increased demand.
