Hi Guys,
Got a question. I am currently on my way from JFK to London and it looks like most of the UK and Ireland is fogged in and the nearest suitable airport will be Amsterdam.
How does it work with diversion in DVA ?.
I still got some hours ahead and are keeping an eye out for the weather.

If I recall correctly diversions are ok. You just need to enter the reason in the comments section.

Flight Diversions
From time to time, flights may divert due to mechanical or weather problems. Diversions need to be made at least halfway through the flight to airports served by Delta Virtual Airlines or its codeshare partners. If landing at the alternate airport results in an invalid flight leg, this leg will be held. You should continue from the alternate airport to the original intended destination. When completed both legs can be reviewed for approval.
NOTE: Delta Virtual Airlines will not approve flights when the Departing and Arriving airports are the same. If you have a reason to return to the departing airport, the flight will not be approved.
Approval of any diversions is within the discretion of the Vice-President of Operations, and Delta Virtual may reject any diversion as seen fit.

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers, luckily a diversion wasen´t neccesary since the visibility was 2000 meters.
Jesse, where did you find that text. I did see it somewhere a few days ago, but couldn´t find it before posting.

If you are on your way from JFK-LHR and you divert to AMS, couldn't you just file the flight plan to AMS?

Yep. I believe the NOTAM section only appears from the pilot center page, though. At least for me, I don't see the link while in the cooler.
