Fall 2010 Departure Delays

Severe weather in London has delayed the return to the US of about fifty students who traveled in Europe after semester's end.

It is a difficult situation but people at every level are doing what they can. Under the circumstances our students are handling the situation very well and we are proud of their resilience.

We are in regular contact with the group.

Update - Sunday, 19th Dec at 20:46

All students have now had the option of lodging at an airport hotel or returning to Harlaxton Manor.

Students who booked the group flight through Haynie Travel of Evansville can be assured that their agency is working around the clock to re-book students on the earliest flights available. Your contact at Haynie Travel is ron_enlow@haynietravel.com.

Students who booked on their own should contact their airline or travel agency as soon as possible. Heathrow Airport updates are available at http://www.heathrowairport.com.

Haynie Travel now has rebooked all members of the original group flight for later this week. Passengers with questions about their re-booking should contact Ron Enlow at ron_enlow@haynietravel.com. The staff at Harlaxton College and the University of Evansville and Haynie Travel will continue to monitor developments.
