If you’re flying soon, it’s probably a good idea to check the social media accounts of the specific airlines and airports that you will be using.
For example, Easyjet and Aer Lingus have provided a flight tracker that will provide live updates.

Aer Lingus, British Airways, Air France, CityJet, Emirates and KLM have all cancelled services on Monday and the airlines in question have contacted passengers directly in relation to any services that have been affected.
At present, it appears that those flights between the UK and Ireland are the most severe.
This being said, if you’re travelling soon, be vigilant.
