Flights to Paris are also operating as normal but airlines are advising travellers that extra security checks at airports may cause delays.

British Airways says customers due to travel to Paris on Saturday 14 November can delay their flight to another day or re-book to an alternative destination.



Easyjet said on Twitter that customers flying to Paris over the next 48 hours may cancel their flight and get a refund.

Flybe customers travelling on Saturday or Sunday who do not wish to travel can rebook a later date to an alternative destination or obtain a credit voucher via the customer service centre.

For people driving to France, ITV News reports that border checks have been reinstated.
