As Iceland volcanic ash cloud locks down UK air travel, the UK staycation should be foremost in your mind. Being assured that you can get away and get back at a reasonable price are town of the beauties of holidays in England, Scotland or Wales.

You may not be able to predict the weather but, UK trains in the 21st century tend to run on schedule.

April 2010 - Ash cloud spill out from the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull continues to lock down the UK airspace. Met office forecasts don’t predict any immediate end to ash cloud problems as winds continue to blow from Iceland West and South across UK airspace until Saturday 24 April 2010. However recent seismic activity does indicate lava flows may have begun which could means less ash being expelled.

Island Holidays for Island Dwellers

With the UK being made of islands the air space lock down has meant many who have gone abroad for holidays cannot get home. For those who have got back by other means that air travel the financial cost will be felt for some time. Travel insurance companies are using the “act of god” get out clause meaning travelers will be paying for any costs incurred. Car hire and ferry costs mount up, especially when you hire in one country and drop off in another. Ferry services are doing all they can some taking the initiative and putting on extra services and some allowing extra foot passengers onboard.
