Travel disruption is likely to continue for several days in the run-up to the main Easter holiday weekend - but chaotic scenes at some of the UK's biggest airports appear to have eased. Many who had planned spring getaways have reported last-minute changes blamed by airlines and airports on staff shortages and Covid-related issues.
More than 100 flights a day were cancelled last week with easyJet and British Airways worst-hit. But by Saturday, the number had been reduced.
British Airways reported it had to cancel three flights overnight on top of its planned cancellations because of staff sickness. The airline recommended long-haul passengers arrive three hours before their flight, and short-haul passengers two hours.
