Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? Tim Send a noteboard - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM
Rebekah thinks you have the HSBC Advance Account (which used to be called a Plus Account). This comes with free travel insurance, and HSBC have announced that they will allow claims from travellers affected by the volcano, even though this kind of event is not covered by some policies. Their number is +44 1243 621 408. NB there's no requirement to tell HSBC you're going away before you leave, in case you were worried about that.

So, I am Volcano-stuck in Rome, but I want to be in Edinburgh Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:01:40 AM 1247 Views

There are worse places to be stuck than Rome Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 762 Views
Tim said you were stuck in Rome. I wasn't sure if you were there or Norway. Alas. Rebekah - 18/04/2010 10:39:55 AM 804 Views

Nope. Not in Europe anyway. I suspect Lesotho might be too far to go to get it. Rebekah - 18/04/2010 10:43:31 AM 752 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. jh - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 784 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. Camilla - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 801 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? Legolas - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 757 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 744 Views

Not so fast. The dirty French have told him he's not allowed to rescue people. Tim - 18/04/2010 03:43:52 PM 758 Views

SNCF says about 1/3 of train drivers are striking, but there are extra international services. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 04:24:57 PM 336 Views
I had never heard of such a thing. What a fun idea!! Tashmere - 18/04/2010 03:54:15 PM 710 Views
It seems there may be hope for people in Calais after all! (Daily Mash link) Tim - 19/04/2010 09:32:42 AM 817 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. Spriteling - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 872 Views
And if you get to Newcastle, I'll pick you up if I can get the car from my sister in St Andrews. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 11:40:08 AM 313 Views
That is beginning to sound tempting. *NM* Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:11:04 PM 340 Views
Just saw your blog update about the bus to Germany. Are you definitely doing that? *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 04:16:23 PM 329 Views
Nothing is difinitive yet, but it looks like that is our best option. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:19:00 PM 688 Views
Oooh. I didn't know that. That sounds like it might be more sensible than Eurostar. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:10:33 PM 747 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: Spriteling - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 1211 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 735 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 327 Views

It's nothing to do with the card you pay with. Travel insurance is a freebie with the Advance A/c. Tim - 18/04/2010 04:50:08 PM 2484 Views
oooh Camilla - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 712 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. Legolas - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 755 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. jh - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 671 Views
It's under a huge glacier. We really don't want it to erupt. *NM* Tim - 18/04/2010 10:05:52 PM 327 Views
