Volcanic Ash Cloud Update

The ash cloud from the volcano that erupted over the weekend is expected to reach other parts of the UK later this week. Due to changing wind patterns the Met Office have said that it is difficult to predict exactly where and when the ash will spread.

If you think that you might be affected by the ash cloud contact your airline, travel agent or the airport that you are due to fly from for the latest travel information. If unfortunately your flight is cancelled, the airline should offer you either a full refund of your unused ticket or an alternative flight. EU based airlines are required to offer you accommodation and meals if you are delayed in getting home to the UK.

Does your travel insurance cover volcanic ash?

Insurewithease.com customers, who purchased Natural Catastrophe Cover as part of their travel insurance, before the volcano erupted, will be covered for cancellation, delay and additional expenses incurred, as a result of the eruption. You should read your travel insurance policy wording for full terms and conditions.

If you are departing on a flight this week, it is advisable to keep up to date with the volcanic ash situation, for the latest volcanic ash information visit the FCO website.
