Wayne, sorry to hear about the trip. My oldest son was scheduled to begin his European holiday last Thursday evening (Virgin Airlines). His flight too was cancelled and the earliest they could rebook him was the 23rd. Good news is that he got all of his money back, including Eurostar, but it took more calls than you might imagine given circumstance.

What might make you feel a bit better though (with the idea that you will not have to deal with it), is that Europe is a mess. No train seats available, roads are clogged (if you can even find a rental car), with people trying to make their way to Calais to get back to the U.K. via Ferry. Eurostar has no seats.

At last count, my company had 100's of folks caught either trying to return to the U.S. or back to Europe via Heathrow, Frankfurt or Charles DeGaulle. At least as of this AM, all are still waiting for a flight.
