You reckon the erupted volcano in Iceland will prevent me from getting from Finland to Italy next Tuesday


You reckon the erupted volcano in Iceland will prevent me from getting from Finland to Italy next Tuesday?
Just wondering if you people have any kind of guess about whether or not it will work. Would suck so bad if the flight was cancelled, been waiting for this trip for a g e s. And anyway, volcano ash? What is this, 2012 or something? Ridiculous. Soon come the floods and asteroids.

Call your airline. Volcanic ash does pose a threat to air travel especially if too much gets into the engines.
2 :
Don't be surprised if it gets cancelled, as they are saying it could be erupting for a long time.
3 :
No. Why ridiculous? This has been a safety issue for years. A BA 747 dropped from 35,000 to 12,000 with no engines because of flying through an ash cloud.

the airports in italy are closed today and maybe also tomorrow in Milan and Bologna..

It could easily last beyond Tuesday - actually looking quite likely now - showing no signs of letting up the eruption: http://www.myworldwebcams.com/iceland/volcano_webcam.html
