ChristiaanJ, so far Girona open, Ryanair only showing flights departing to the west cancelled.

My wife's due to fly out to Gatwick from Girona today so we are watching situation in nervous anticipation.

Catalan TV forecast is for ash cloud right overhead between 20,000 and 30,000 today stretching S.West to N.East, i.e. up into Eastern France.

Flights into GRN (and PPG for that matter) may be possible making a more westerly apprach than usual and descending well under cloud on arrival.

We shall see. Keeping fingers toes and other appurtances crossed. Have checked TGV prices, €100 Perpignan to Paris and then €260 Paris to London (gulp)

SEE MY POST LATER ON, THIS THREAD....
