Travel misery

Rabiya Parekh | 12:56 UK time, Thursday, 10 August 2006

Not much doubt about what we will be talking about tonight on the programme.

Television and radio stations have blanket coverage of a plot foiled by British authorities to blow up several planes travelling between Britain and the United States.

As I write the United States homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff, has just said the plot in Britain was international in scope, and was in some respects suggestive of an Al Qaeda plot.

Raids took place in three sperate locations in the UK early this morning in London, High Wycombe and Birmingham, and so far 21 people have been arrested.

Inevitably there is major travel disruption at all UK airports, British officials have asked airlines to cancel all in-bound flights from Europe into London's Heathrow airport temporarily. They also warn of severe delays due to extra security measures and are asking passengers to stay away from Heathrow.

Well that's the vein of our programme tonight. We want to hear from you around the world if you have been affected by the current security measures. How has it affected your travel plans? Have you been given any information about when you can travel in and out of Britian or any other airport around the world?

And as we learn more about the plot, how safe do you feel when travelling?
