Tales of woe on the news last night!!

Angry passengers complaining about lack of staff, sitting on aircraft for many hours, nobody seems to know what's going on.

Sound familiar but, hey, this is Helsinki and they get this weather all the time.

Interestingly most of the cancellations were Finnair, the domestic and European program was decimated - sound familiar.

Helsinki has, relative to LHR, unlimited expansion possibilities - you want more runways, more stands, more terminals, more deicing facilities - take your chain saw and cut a few thousand more trees.

Unfortunately the trees around LHR tend to be built of brick and have people living in them!!

There is no night curfew and, I suspect, despite it's 3 runways the no. Of movements per day is somewhat fewer than LHR.
