They are carrying $2000+ in cash. Should last them for a while. They are using a calling card I bought for them (1400 minutes from Germany to US). you make a good point. But, how do I do the money transfer? Don't I need to specify an account or something for the transfer? Lekapothe western union c/o Frankfurt Airport ki money pampi, so and so will pick it up ani cheppaalaa?

Grounded passengers entitled to EU rights Air travellers hit by the grounding of all flights by the volcanic ash threat can still claim most of their EU rights even though the disruption is beyond airlines' control. Travel operators remain liable to reimburse ticket fares or to re-route their stranded passengers - but will not have to pay financial compensation for delays or cancellations, because of the special circumstances. A range of automatic rights were introduced by EU legislation six years ago, covering meal and accommodation costs if necessary depending on the length of delays, and financial compensation for cancellations or for 'denied boarding' - being bumped off overbooked flights. But the rules say such obligations on air carriers 'should be limited or excluded in cases where an event has been caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken'. Those circumstances include 'political instability, meteorological conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight concerned, security risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings and strikes that affect the operation of an operating air carrier'. With airspace and airports closed in EU countries including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas praised the efforts of aviation authorities but made clear that some passenger rights would apply despite the 'very exceptional circumstance'. He said the volcanic ash cloud was a very significant threat to air safety and national authorities were required by international law to take steps to ensure safety. 'In this case, the airports and those responsible for air traffic control have taken very swift and appropriate action to safeguard the public, and there is excellent co-ordination and co-operation at European level, notably within Eurocontrol. 'But, even in exceptional circumstances, EU passenger rights continue to apply and air travellers should speak up to claim their rights.' | ||

Guttonkay, Peddavallu general ga feel more comfortable in the group unless they are seasoned travellers. More than the physical comfort of the hotel they need the mental comfort of being in what they perceive as the safe zone in view of the airline information desk and other people in the same plight...hence rasp's parents disinclination to leaving the airport. These days for any elders (andaru over 65) flying we have been requesting wheelchair assistance as it takes the stress off their minds of finding gates/connections etc. aa chal ke tujhe main leke chalu ik aise gagan ke tale jahan gam bhi na ho, aansoo bhi na ho,bas pyaar hi pyaar pale | ||

Rasp, Do your folks have their luggage with them at this point? If they do and if they can can't transit visa, they should leave the airport and let you deal with Lufthansa over the phone. For all you know they will have to sit in the airport for another 48 hours or more. That way they are in a place where they can take a shower and get some proper rest. There is nothing they can do sitting in the airport anyway. Even if they want to talk to Lufthansa or airport staff, the lines will be freaking long.

Volcano spews more ash, spawns wider flight chaos By PAISLEY DODDS, Associated Press Writer Paisley Dodds, Associated Press Writer 1 hr 30 mins ago LONDON – A lingering volcanic ash plume forced extended no-fly restrictions over much of Europe on Saturday, as Icelandic scientists warned that volcanic activity had increased and showed no sign of abating — a portent of more travel chaos to come. Scientists say that because the volcano is situated below a glacial ice cap, the magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines if prevailing winds are right. "The activity has been quite vigorous overnight, causing the eruption column to grow," Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson told The Associated Press on Saturday. "It's the magma mixing with the water that creates the explosivity. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight." An expansive cloud of grit hovered over parts of western Europe on Saturday, triggering extended flight bans that stranded people around the globe. Continued volcanic activity could produce more plumes if the weather patterns stay the same. The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the amount of ash in the plume grew Saturday and that the vast ash cloud is continuing to travel south and southeast. Scientists had planned to fly over the volcano to see how much ice has melted to determine how much longer the eruption could spew ash, but the Icelandic Coast Guard said Saturday's flight had been postponed. Aviation experts say the volcanic plume has caused the worst travel disruption Europe — and the world — has ever seen. "I've been flying for 40 years but I've never seen anything like this in Europe," said Swedish pilot Axel Alegren, after landing his flight from Kabul, Afghanistan, at Munich Airport; he had been due to land at Frankfurt but was diverted. Anxious passengers have told stories of missed weddings, graduations, school and holidays because of the ominous plume, which seemed likely to disrupt world leaders' plans to attend Sunday's state funeral for Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria in the southern city of Krakow. So far, delegations from India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and Pakistan have canceled plans to attend the state funeral. President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel still planned to attend. Slovenian President Danilo Turk decided to travel to Poland by car. Most of northern and central Europe's airspace has been shut down, affecting airports from New Zealand to San Francisco. On Saturday, the French prime minister extended the closure of airspace in northern France until Monday morning. British airspace is closed until at least 0600 GMT Sunday, and forecasters said the ash cloud would progressively cover the whole of the U.K. later Saturday. British Airways is canceling all short-haul flights to and from London airports Sunday. Stranded passengers reported the delays were causing financial hardships. Some had to check out of hotels and sleep in the airports. "I have been staying in a hotel but have now checked out and do not know what I am going to do — I have limited financial resources here," said Anthony Adeayo, 45, who was due to travel from Britain to Nigeria with British Airways. Others, desperate to return home or get to meetings, rushed to book a ride on ferries or taxis. P&O Ferries said its ferry services from France's Calais to Britain's Dover were overbooked and there was no space left on their ferries for foot passengers, while a Virgin Holidays Cruises phone operator said dozens of people have called in to ask about transatlantic crossings to New York aboard the Queen Mary 2 cruiser. A British taxi firm said it pocketed a fortune from driving a group of clients hundreds of miles to Switzerland. Shoppers were warned Saturday that continued flight bans could spark shortages of imported fresh fruit and vegetables. "There are no shortages yet, but we may start to see certain ranges affected if this carries on," said Christopher Snelling, head of global supply chain policy for the Freight Transport Association. The Belgian and Swiss governments extended their ban until Saturday evening. Italian aviation authorities were closing airspace in northern Italy on Saturday until 1800GMT. Spain's Iberia airline is canceling most of its European flights until further notice. In the Nordics, air space in the central and southern parts of the region was expected to remain closed at least until Sunday afternoon. At least 45 flights between Europe and Asia were cancelled Saturday. Australia's Qantas canceled all flights to Europe, and passengers were being offered refunds or seats on the next available flight. The airline said it was not known when flights would resume. Cathay Pacific was already canceling some Europe-bound flights leaving Hong Kong on Sunday. "The British Airways telephone message says check the Web site for updates but when you check the site it says call the customer services number," said James Kirkman, 41, who was visiting family in Australia with his two kids. "There's no information. The kids were due back at school on Monday." Southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) volcano began erupting for the second time in a month on Wednesday, sending ash several miles (kilometers) into the air. Winds pushed the plume south and east across Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and into the heart of Europe. Authorities told people in the area with respiratory problems to stay indoors, and advised everyone to wear masks and protective goggles outside. The air traffic agency Eurocontrol said about 16,000 of Europe's usual 28,000 daily flights were canceled on Friday — twice as many as were canceled a day earlier. U.S. airlines canceled 280 of the more than 330 trans-Atlantic flights of a normal day. The International Air Transport Association says the volcano is costing the industry at least $200 million a day. The disruptions hit tourists, business travelers and dignitaries alike. German Chancellor Angela Merkel had to go to Portugal rather than Berlin as she flew home from a U.S. visit. China, Japan and Russia and five other Asian nations were missing finance talks with the European Union in Spain. The military also had to adjust. Five German soldiers wounded in Afghanistan were diverted to Turkey instead of Germany, while U.S. medical evacuations for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan had to be flown directly from the warfronts to Washington rather than to a care facility in Germany. The U.S. military has also stopped using temporarily closed air bases in the U.K. and Germany. In Iceland, torrents of water have carried away chunks of ice the size of small houses. Sections of the country's main ring road were wiped out by the flash floods. More floods from melting waters are expected as long as the volcano keeps erupting — and in 1821, the same volcano managed to erupt for more than a year. Iceland, a nation of 320,000 people, sits on a large volcanic hot spot in the Atlantic's mid-oceanic ridge and has a history of devastating eruptions. One of the worst was the 1783 eruption of the Laki volcano, which spewed a toxic cloud over Europe, killing tens of thousands. | ||

Rasp, Do you have anyone in Germany? I think BB said he has someone in Dusseldorf. If he and you are comfortable, chuck the airport, tell Lufthansa you are okay with traveling a week from now (they may give you upgrade to first class). Coordinate and ask ur folks to go see Germany. They both speak English, so they should be okay. Easier said than done I think. | ||

Rasp, It looks like Lufthansa says if you want to cancel, they will give you a refund. May be they should go back to India and come on some other airline? If we were the ones traveling we can cancel, travel to southern Europe and fly from there. The whole thing is such a chaos now. Monday varaku almost nothing will fly. | ||

I didn't know ur flight details right, I just knew u were going to India b'coz day after day u were posting about how many barrels of whisky I can take on a flight, how many CARTs of cigarettes I can take on a flight etc etc. so, I was hoping u weren't affected by all these flight cancellations. artham ayyinda? ardham anna artham ayyinda?? :-D As for your flight, u should call emirates and ask them if u should be concerned. U should call even if ur flight is direct to dubai, b'coz u do not know what the route in the sky is. All east coast flights go up north via NY, boston, newfoundland/halifax and cross over the ocean from there. Since u r going from Houston, you probably won't go this route at all, but u can doublecheck. Good luck getting to an agent on emirates 1-800 line. they are a pain. | ||

Rasp, there is really not a lot you can do. Fortunately, both ur parents can speak English. They have to sit tight and hopefully will get on the next flight out. You can talk to Lufthansa USA but they will have no useful information to give you. Don't worry too much, they will fine despite the inconvenience of being stuck in Frankfurt airport, where even the food is awful. sit tight and they will be here soon. | ||

so, let's say this condition persists for a few months. Can airplanes fly over 35,000 miles or at 10,000 miles to circumvent this ash cloud? Anybody has an idea? | ||

I wonder how many Indian parents are stuck at LHR & CDG. Horrible for them. We had a really bad winter. I am not looking forward another long winter with multiple feet of snow. | ||

Interesting story on how major volcanic eruptions can affect the whole globe. http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/04/16/darrigo.volcano.impact /index.html Long before the advent of air travel, the eruption of Iceland's Laki volcano in 1783-84 had profound effects on climate, not just in Iceland but around the globe. Besides releasing clouds of ash into the atmosphere that can disrupt visibility and damage airplane engines, eruptions can cool the climate with the reflection of incoming solar radiation from the troposphere by volcanic sulfur-rich ash, which can decrease temperatures significantly for months or years in some cases. Highly unusual conditions were described in the summer of 1783 after Laki, including poisonous volcanic fumes that killed perhaps 25 percent of the population of Iceland, persistent haze and oppressive heat in Europe, and blood-red sunrises over North America, Europe and other locations. The Laki eruption was believed to have caused thousands of deaths because of unusual conditions in Europe that summer, along with the severe cold of the following winter. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to suggest that the extreme cold of 1783-84 over much of the Northern Hemisphere was connected to the Laki event. In North America, Laki has been blamed for the starvation of Inuit populations from severe cold in northwestern Alaska, based on Inuit oral history as well as tree-ring density data investigated by Gordon Jacoby and others, who estimated that conditions were about 4 degrees Celsius colder than the mean. The effects of major volcanic eruptions such as Laki can also be felt elsewhere on the globe, often far from their actual location. For example, significant cooling and strong dynamical effects after the Laki event and other high-latitude eruptions are believed to have caused decreased flow of the Nile River in Egypt and weakened African and Asian monsoons based on climate model simulations, with potentially very significant impacts on food and water supplies. | ||

So the Fall of the Euro has begun. soon the fears of doom will hit the European stock market since a major part of the global travel has been crippled. The stock fear in Europe will have a domino effect on the American and other global markets. Image all the lost revenue on airline tickets, unable to use air shipping. And of course there is a large quantity of people stranded thousands of miles away from home and work. No work = no money. No work = people losing their jobs. | ||

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1266300/Iceland-volc ano-Ash-cloud-grounds-British-European-flights.html Airports across Britian were deserted today after an unprecedented lockdown of airspace prompted by the threat from a deadly cloud of volcanic ash. The National Air Traffic Service (NATs) has now grounded flights in and out of the UK until at least 1am tomorrow. But with the source of the ash – a volcano 700 miles away in Iceland – still spewing smoke into the atmosphere, there are already fears the chaos could go on for days if not weeks. Some experts said there could be disruption for six months as a result of contaminated air drifting over northern Europe. NATs will review the situation at 1pm today and put out a statement about services tomorrow at 2.30pm. No jet planes can fly except in an emergency because the dust causes their engines to fail. Health officials have told those with conditions such as asthma to stay indoors. |
