Paris attacks leave travellers confused, Vancouver airport normal

Flightsin and out of Paris are operating today, but some travellers may have second thoughts about heading there.

Most airlines are pledging not to penalize flyerswho cancel this weekend, given the recent terrorist attacks in Paris that left 127 dead. Overnight Vancouver's airport lit up its control tower in the colours of France's flag, a nod to a country in mourning.

"We've certainly had a number of calls of concern but again because the situation is fluid, I think a lot of people are of themindsetwhere they are waiting to see what's happening," said Allison Wallace of Flight Centre Canada.

Wallace said the chaos people witnessed on the streets of Franceleaves people confused.

Overnight authorities atGatwick Airport in Londonevacuated its North Terminalfor security reasons, which causedtravel delays. Thismorning Vancouver International Airport officials saidflights in Vancouver are not affected.

The first scheduled flight to Paris from Vancouver is scheduled for Sunday, and so far no change.

Most major airlines will not penalizetravellers who choose not to fly this weekend.

"What normally happens in these situations is if you want to change or cancel your flight those fees are waived whether its a natural disaster or something," said Wallace.

For now most airlines have committed to waiving cancellation fees for Paris bound flights for the next few days.
