Thousands of airline passengers remain stranded at airports after freezing weather conditions forced many of them to spend the night sleeping on terminal floors.
Heathrow airport, the UK's busiest airport, is closed to all inbound flights while only a handful of departures will be allowed.
On what is usually the airlines' busiest day of the festive getaway hundreds of flights across Britain and Europe have either been cancelled or are subject to delays.
Heathrow says no flights will leave from terminals 1 or 4 today with only limited departures from terminals 3 and 5.
The airport will not accept any new plane arrivals and passengers have been told to check with their airlines before leaving home.
Thwarted travellers from around the country have sent Sky News photos of the chaos inside terminals, as passengers try to sleep beneath thermal blankets and makeshift beds.
Passengers have complained of airlines and airport staff not being able to provide information about flight delays, while friends and families have slammed airline websites for not providing updates.
