Q I have been wanting to visit Trieste for years and I was just about to book a Ryanair flight as this is the only carrier that flies directly there from the UK. I then remembered the B-word and wondered what effect it might have on the trip?

I was going to fly out on 29 March and come back a few days later, but wondered whether the flight back could be grounded. There are also flights available at the beginning of April. Maybe the plans wouldn’t take off at all then?
