The grounding of flights across much of Europe is starting to be a serious problem causing hundreds of thousands to search for hotel rooms, train tickets or rental cars. Philosopher and author Alain de Botton discusses how in a future world without aeroplanes, children would gather at the feet of old men, and hear extraordinary tales of a mythic time when vast and complicated machines the size of several houses used to take to the skies. Restrictions on flights over UK and Wales remain in force until at least seven o'clock tonight. Simon Calder is the travel editor of the Independent, outlines the current situation and gives his advice for air travellers looking for a flight or compensation.
