Hurricane Sandy: Thousands hit by flight cancellations

[mhm]

Thousands of transatlantic passengers are facing disruption with the cancellation of flights between Britain and the US as Hurricane Sandy hits the east coast of the US.

BA and Virgin Atlantic have cancelled all flights to and from New York, Washington and Boston, with Baltimore and Philadelphia flights also cut.

Passengers are being offered the opportunity to rebook or get a refund.

But disruption could last for days if Sandy intensifies.

With winds of 75mph, the hurricane - dubbed "Frankenstorm" - is threatening 50 million people along the densely-populated east coast
