The UK's first recorded snowfall this winter has led to several flight cancellations and numerous delays.

Bad weather forced the suspension of services from Stansted as its runway was temporarily closed, while passengers using Heathrow and Gatwick faced disruption due to snow and ice.

More than 90 flights from Heathrow were canceled as air traffic control restrictions were imposed due to heavy snowfall, while more than 30 flights from Gatwick were delayed or diverted.

A code yellow warning for snow, ice and dense fog for much of the country also led to disruption at Manchester Airport. On Sunday, both runways were closed for various periods of time due to the intense blizzard.   

Travelers were urged to check flight status with airlines before leaving for the airport. There are cities where surface transportation is heavily affected by this snowfall, so it's a good idea to allow yourself more time to travel to the airports.

British Airways stated: “Due to the adverse winter weather conditions in the UK, we have had to reduce our schedule at our London airports: Sunday 11th December and Monday 12th December. We are very sorry for the disruption and are taking steps to ensure that as many passengers as possible can travel as planned. Customers whose flights have been canceled are given the option to rebook alternative flights and we provide drink vouchers and hotel accommodation where necessary.

Passengers of canceled flights who no longer wish to travel can request a full refund. Customers can find details of their rights at ba.com/helpme.

London City Airport reported heavy snow on Sunday night and warned of possible fog for Monday morning, which could cause disruption to air traffic.

A spokesman for Luton Airport warned that there could be disruption to flights and also advised passengers to allow more time for their journey to the airport.

In these circumstances, you are unlikely to receive additional compensation and compensation under air passenger law. Such weather phenomena are passed to "exceptions".
