Flights from places outside the ash cloud, like Spain and Italy, are able to get to the US by flying around it.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Our News report stated that over 60,000 flights have been cancelled, to-morrow they are opening 50 per cent of the air space, there have been some test flights and they were fine, the critical areas are over the volcano, it is super bad, airlines are offering changes , but they consider this an act of God so will not reimburse, unless you give them pressure, Hope the air clears soon, keep the Faith my Friend, we are here for you, if you need us...

Originally Posted By LuLu Hopefully Pete hasn't responded with the hotel info because he is now traveling!! >>airlines are offering changes , but they consider this an act of God so will not reimburse<< I read that the airlines are losing tons of money each day due to this, how can they lose money if they aren't reimbursing tickets that can't be used? I just don't find that acceptable. This is such a huge bummer for everyone involved...
