If you’re based in Sydney, I really hope you’re not planning on jet-setting anywhere today because a heap of flights have been cancelled, causing huge queues and disgruntled crowds throughout Sydney Airport.
More than 50 flights have been called off due to strong westerly winds which are blasting up to 70km per hour. To make matters even worse, Sydney Airport is suffering from a severe shortage of air traffic controllers because a bunch of them are off sick.
Take this as yet another warning to go get your flu shot.
