After the Friday showers, the national capital and surrounding areas woke up to a thick layer of fog on Saturday.

At least Akasa is communicating proactively. Last year with another airline, we were stuck at the airport for 8 hours with zero updates. Checking flight status online is crucial this time of year. Safe travels, everyone!

Visiting from Canada and caught in this. The fog is intense, unlike anything I've seen. The airline's statement is polite, but the real test is how they handle rebooking and compensation. Hoping for a smooth resolution.

It's not just flights, the whole northern railway network gets affected. Better to plan travel after 10 AM if possible. IMD forecast is helpful, but execution by authorities is key. Stay warm and patient, folks!

Respectfully, while weather is a factor, Indian airports need to invest more in advanced landing systems (like CAT III-B) that allow operations in denser fog. Delhi has some, but coverage and pilot training need to expand. This is a recurring national infrastructure issue.

Had to cancel my trip to Srinagar. Disappointed, but safety first! 🤞 The Akasa Care Centre was actually responsive on the phone, which was a relief. Hope the fog clears soon for everyone traveling.
