I don't want to land and then spend time looking for a…

Egypt
We like to go to Egypt for snorkelling and have been many times (upwards of 30) but notice that Masa Alam is not coming up at the moment. I'm thinking it's probably because of the 'war' but it doesn't seem much closer than Hurgurda or Sharm. I have looked at Tui, Easy Jet and First Choice. Any ideas?

Holiday cancellation due to jet fuel shortage - covered by insurance?
With the balance due in the next two weeks for our Jet2 package holiday; if there was a cancellation due to a Jet fuel shortage (only 6 weeks supply in Europe being reported on TV), what protection do people have if the holiday is cancelled for this Reason? Would it be considered due to an act of war in terms of insurance?
