Quick note for those travelling to and through the UK, there are several delays and cancellations due to Storm Gerrit over the next couple of days.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for several parts of the UK on Wednesday with wintry conditions forecast.
Travellers in the UK are being warned of hazardous driving conditions and disruptions to rail and air transport as Storm Gerrit batters the country.
Several flights have been cancelled due to strong winds, and train passengers have been told to avoid travelling in some areas.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for several parts of the UK on Wednesday with wintry conditions forecast.
The Met Office has cautioned of strong winds, heavy snow and rain in Scotland, heavy rain across northern England and most of Wales, and strong winds along the entire south coast of England.
Here is the latest on the travel disruption affecting the UK.
Flights cancelled as storm hits UK
British Airways has cancelled 18 domestic flights on Wednesday due to the blustery conditions.
The services affected are return trips between Heathrow and Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Jersey and Manchester.
Eight European services have also been axed to and from Barcelona, Berlin, Madrid and Paris CDG.
“As a result of air-traffic control restrictions put in place because of Storm Gerrit, we have had to make some adjustments to our schedule today,” a spokesperson for British Airways said.
“We have apologised to our customers for any disruption to their travel plans and our teams are working hard to get them on their way as quickly as possible.”
Passengers can request to be rebooked on the closest available alternative flight.

The rail line between London St Pancras International and Luton has been closed due to signalling problems.
