A number of airlines are already advising those booked on flights departing this morning to check for online updates and liaise with their airports regarding any delays or cancellations.

Those hoping to travel through Gatwick have been advised to check ahead for any disruption.

According to Eurocontrol, the European air safety agency, there were more than 120,000 minutes of flight delays across the continent on Monday morning, with 94% due to adverse weather conditions.

Heathrow said: ” Following yesterday’s heavy fog, the Met Office has issued another warning for today.

It has warned the fog could affect travel this morning, with “minor disruption” likely.

The Met Office said the fog could reduce visibility to less than 100 metres but forecast it would lift by the afternoon.

Fifteen of the 34 flights affected were to London airports, eight were Manchester-bound, five were due for Amsterdam, four to Brussels and two to Cardiff. “It’s very foggy!!! Drive slowly, use fog lights or better yet stay inside”.

Motorists have been advised to take care on the roads amid the thick fog.

Highways England urged people to allow extra time.

BA also canceled 30 November 1 arrivals and departures at London city and expects disruptions November 2 at Docklands airport per the Independent.

Many other airlines have cancelled flights to and from Heathrow, which is the busiest in Europe.

Many travelers have been harassed due to fog but, Sky News presenter Eamonn Holmes remained optimistic.

British Airways has told passengers: “Please do not come to the airport unless you have a confirmed booking on a flight that is operating”.

But as the country woke to more dense weather this morning, many Britons were left wondering what has caused the weird occurrence.

Dublin Airport has also warned of possible delays.

“Fog in Autumn is usually associated with high pressure – bringing us dry and settled conditions through the day, but through the night as the air temperature drops any moisture in the air condenses and forms fog towards the early hours”.
