A spell of freezing weather bringing heavy snowfall and ice has caused transport disruption across western Europe.
Hundreds of flights have been cancelled at several airports, while Eurostar services and haulage have also been affected.
More than 700 flights were cancelled at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, a major regional transport hub, on Wednesday. Meanwhile, France's civil aviation authority has asked airlines to cut 40% of flights scheduled for the main international airport in Paris.
At least six people have died in weather-related incidents across Europe this week - five in France and one in Bosnia.
Dutch national airline KLM warned Schiphol Airport was close to running out of de-icing fluid after days of freezing conditions. A few hundred beds have been set up at the airport, providing food and drinks for stranded travelers.
In Paris, over 100 flights were cancelled at Charles de Gaulle airport. Dozens of flights have been delayed or cancelled in and out of Heathrow and Brussels.
Almost half of mainland France was on alert for heavy snow and black ice, with lorries banned from the roads in some areas.
Tragic incidents included five fatalities due to dangerous driving conditions in France and one in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
Despite the chaos, some residents found moments of joy, as tourists and locals ski down the snow-covered slopes of Paris.
