AIRPORTS are warning travellers to allow extra time for their flights tomorrow, with possible delays and disruptions due to Storm Eunice.
Storm Eunice has already caused widespread disruption across the UK as 100mph winds are expected to hit.
Gatwick Airport tweeted: "Weather Warning. Be advised that due to storm Eunice, there is the possibility for disruption to flights, and the shuttle service to North terminal tomorrow, between approximately 10am and 4pm.
"Please arrive earlier if you are flying from Gatwick."
A spokesperson for East Midlands said: "When strong winds are forecast it is less about the strength of the wind and more about the direction.
"With strong winds forecast in the coming days, we advise that passengers contact their airlines if they have concerns about a flight."
London Luton Airport said they planned to "operate as normal" but were monitoring the storm, while Heathrow Airport said while "high winds and poor weather can cause last-minute delays" but were hoping to minimise any disruption.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also gave advice on what passengers should do if their flights are disrupted.
They wrote: "If you are delayed, your airline has a duty of care for you, potentially including the provision of food and drinks, as well as accommodation if you are delayed overnight."
