    Does warding affect people (or even units) that are airborne?

    Yes. You can't effectively fly an airplane in mists without instruments and
    griffons don't have radar altimeters. Also, I suspect, that even if you did
    have instruments, the Bermuda triangle thing would happen (all your
    instruments go wacky, and either you end up gated to a random location
    flying out of the triangle or are never seen again)

    Yes. Nothing except a small handful of people lead by the caster of the
    spell can enter or leave the province.

    Another question about warding

    Okay, so, does this mean that warding generates a dome of thick mist rather
    that just a simple ring around the province, or does some other aspect of
    the magic affect flying units?

    Actually the Warding Spell (from memory, BoM is upstairs and I can't be
    bothered getting it) doesn't specify the size of the group that the Mage can
    lead through the Warding. Therefore, it should in theory be possible for at
    least one army unit (eg. link hands etc.) to get through the Warding. Infact,
    in theory, an entire army could move through a Warding - if lead by the
    Caster. This makes this spell great for invasions - first weaken the province
    by starving them, then invade with overwhelming force while you opponent
    cannot bring in reinforcements....Mawahahahahaha....

    Sorry, Phil. Your memory has failed you. :)
    The spell says a mage or priest with "appropriate" magical items or
    spells has a 50 % chance of leading 1 person per level through the mists.
    Now whatever appropriate means is beyond me, since the spell is designed
    to keep everyone else out. Thus _any_ mage or priest (so the description
    goes, which I don't like) has a 50% chance of getting through with
    whatever the DM deems is appropriate. Pretty wimpy to me. I like
    "caster only, 50% chance of leading 1 person / caster level". But,
    that's just me.

    No, I think everybody is misinterpretting what I am saying. The CASTER is able
    to move at will and lead as many people as he likes through the Warding as
    said in the description "The caster is immune to the effects of his own
    warding and may lead as many individuals through the mists as he wishes."
    Therefore it is great for an invading wizard - attacking wizard wards target
    province(s) and then declares war, leading his troops through the mists (and
    potentially creating new ones when inside (love that undead legion spell) he
    can potentially have the province invested by the time anyone else can get
    troops there due to the warding. Mawhahahahahaha....
