Having been travelling by aircraft for (come t'row) 54 years, I've been cancelled and diverted although not such a long return to base. All the animals on the plane are alive and well. That is everything.

Yes, I know people have missed weddings and funerals and arrived too late to see a person before they died - but the world is like that. Whether it's a volcano or an engine that is feeling off-colour, this is our lives and the benefits of air travel are so great.

I guess there's a first time for everything . . .

Were there other diversion due to the volcanic ash? Had to be more than one flight headed to Mexico City.

It also became apparent that scores of other aircraft continued to operate in and around Mexico over the timeframe. For example, Iberia's Thursday service from Madrid to Mexico City landed without incident.
All irrelevant.
