Ash cloud!!!

The rules have been changed for flying now so fingers crossed!

Have they? What's the new rule/s then?

To quote the BBC website;

During last year's eruption UK airspace was shut down completely by the authorities as a precaution but this time airlines will make their own decisions about whether it is safe to fly

Since I'm flying Ryanair I can guarantee we will be flying cloud or no cloud! :o

I agree, the swines would still fly through a meteor showers and charge you for the firework display.

Not sure the words 'Ryanair' & 'guarantee we will be flying' can be used in the same sentence ....
 
We have 7 weeks until we go away to Florida so we should be ok.
I hope it settles down soon though otherwise airlines and insurance companies will have another excuse to increase their prices.

Considering they have to pay you compensation I think we'll be fine! :D :D

They will be firing us in a catapult if no planes are available such is Ryanair's tightness and hatred of us "cattle"!
 
As I'm still waiting for the insurance for last years fiasco I am glad my next flight isn't planned until August!

I got stuck in Barcelona for a extra 3 days because of the ash cloud last year. I was made up when our flight was cancelled I just checked in the hotel for a extra 3 nights and easyjet reimbursed me the money when I got home.
