so there s disarray there already. and unfortunately, with so little slack in the system, british airways, for instance, cancelling around 100 flights a day, but doing that well in advance, it s very difficult to see how some of those people are going to get back and they ve got school, some of them exams and of course, many people due back at work tomorrow morning. so what is the situation and what are their rights? well, their rights are very easy to state and they re absolutely clear. the airline that cancels the flight must get you home as soon as possible on the same day, if there are seats available, and if it doesn t have any seats itself, then it has to buy you a ticket on a different airline. now, i m hearing from a lot of people that they re not dateline london. now on bbc news, dateline london with sean ley. hello and welcome to the programme, which brings together leading commentators in the uk with the journalists from overseas who write, blog and broadcast from
