Thick fog in southern England is causing travel disruption, including more than 70 flight cancellations at London's Heathrow and City airports.
There are also delays and passengers have been advised to check with their airlines.
The Met Office earlier warned that visibility was lower than 50 metres in places with fog expected to linger throughout the morning.
The fog is spread over the south-east of England up to the Midlands.
Heathrow Airport said 52 flights had been cancelled as a result of the fog.
At London City Airport, 20 departing flights were cancelled while almost 40 arrivals were either cancelled, delayed or diverted.
Six flights were cancelled and 18 delayed at Southampton Airport while no planes have been able to land.
On Tuesday night four aircraft had to be diverted to Bournemouth.
"We're still not moving. The forecast is improving though and the fog is starting to lift away," Jan Halliday, from Southampton Airport said.
"We anticipate that we will start to fly before 11:00 GMT"
A spokeswoman for Heathrow said on average the airport handles around 1,300 flights a day.
The airport has had to cancel flights because of an air traffic control requirement for more space on the schedule between planes during periods of decreased visibility, she added.
Stephen Main, who was due to fly to New York from Glasgow via London Heathrow, said he would now be delayed by almost nine hours.
"We had plans for a business meeting in the afternoon but this puts the whole trip back."
London's Stansted and Gatwick airports said flights were unaffected by the fog.
Meanwhile, ferries between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight were also operating with delays, Wightlink Ferries said.
And operations at Southampton Container Port were suspended due to the fog.
