Was supposed to be heading off to San Fran then Vegas for my 21st, now looking like it's all off Booked all independently & insurance won't cover, absolutely gutted and dread to think how much we will lose. One day I'll get there!!! This thread has been invaluable though.

Flights should be refundable and if you booked hotels direct they should also be refundable, not a great situation but you shouldnt be to much out of pocket

Is it just me that cannot open this link?
I am scheduled to fly out this Wednesday and the uncertainty is not nice:(

I cant open the link either.
Uncertainty must be horrendous, I think I would prob cancel and rebook for later in year if it wasnt going to cost me extra

It never occurred to me that anyone would try to do all of them within 24 hours, even in the name of internet journalism.

I've never seen a burger/bratwurst bar at PH - but we have never been for lunch. It's an interesting idea...not sure I would go to a buffet and have a burger but stranger things have happend. And I loooove bratwurst. If they had corn dogs I might just live there.

One of the things I liked most at the M Resort buffet was the Thai station - it was pretty small, but the red curry I tried was quite tasty and I rather wished I had discovered it before I had so much other stuff on my plate.

Made me laugh as I know exactly what you mean

Sorry about the link. It was working when I posted it as I checked, but it's not working now and I can't remember where I got it.

How did you book hotels and car hire. If you booked direct with hotels or even 3rd party you should get all/most of it refunded. Some carhire companies allow fee free cancellations (I think carhire 3000 do). Trips may not be so good but worth emailing them given the circumstances

There is something interesting that has come out of this Ash situation.

If you are booked on a european airline they have a duty of care under EC regulations to pay for hotel,food and phone calls, if you are stuck, or offer refund or rebook with no charge if you are still at home.

BUT if it is an American airline those regulations dont apply and you are on your own (it seems)
