History likes to repeat itself. It did not take long after the dust has settled down after the eruption of Eyafjallajökull, before yet another Icelandic volcano woke up and rumbled. Grímsvötn erupted on Saturday and by now the cloud ash has reached Norway and Scotland causing small disruptions there.
The current situation is very unclear and changing. The ash cloud is believed to reach Sweden by Tuesday but the forecast are not always precise – e.g. the Norwegian aviation authorities did not expect the cloud to reach Norway so quickly.

Moving, going to work abroad or maybe just getting away for a prolonged stay? At any rate, the chances are that you will need to take with you more personal belongings than is the case with shorter getaways. As you might have learnt reading our series on baggage policy, the baggage allowances of various carriers leave us basically with two options – restrict what we take with us and pay less, or pack all the stuff we want consequently burning a hole in the budget. But what if you are compelled to take more than allowed? Are excess baggage fees an unpleasant necessity?
The answer is – it does not have to be this way. Have you ever heard the term «unaccompanied baggage»? All it comes down to is sending your luggage as cargo. The crucial thing is to contact the airlines in question and find out their unaccompanied baggage rates. The rates are calculated based on weight, size and route.
