					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.escapeartistes.com/2015/08/17/what-to-do-about-volcano-flights-cancellations-on-bali-or-elsewhere/#comment-182735&quot;&gt;Teva&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Theodora, I&#039;d guess the volcano in question is Bromo, which is near Surabaya and has been erupting, although it&#039;s a very low plume of ash and, as you say, no other airlines seem bothered by it. If you can&#039;t fly, they should have to put you up in a hotel, with other people on the cancelled flight, and I&#039;m very surprised they didn&#039;t do that - though cash compensation would be unusual and rarely happens. Are you still stuck in Singapore? If so, I&#039;d kick up merry hell on social media and at the airport, insisting that they find you somewhere to stay as they&#039;re not flying. Theodora (!).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This happened to me yesterday. My flight to Surabaya was cancelled by a certain budget Airline, apparently due to volcanic activity. Which volcano? Even Google doesn&#039;t know. Another Airline was able to fly from Bangkok  into Surabaya about 5-6 hours earlier. 

So after surviving a 10-11 hour transit time, they delayed my flight for from 11:45 to 14:30. No meals given. When i woke up at 13:00 to check the gate, i was shocked to See that it was cancelled. So yes, i was seriously pissed at the Airline. I had been spending over 12 hours at the fucking Airport! I had every right to get pissed especially when my family in Indonesia had not heard of any bogus Eruption from any paranormale volcanoes. 

So there i was, stranded in singapore with very little money and could not afford myself a Hotel. I asked what the shitty Airline would give for a compensation, they said nothing because this is &quot;due to weather conditions&quot; and not their fault. 

I have sent them via the feedback Form on their Website a mighty nasty request for a solid and scientific proof that there was indeed some volcanic activity yesterday noon that might endanger the flights. 

What can i do if they can&#039;t provide me with those? Btw, my Name is Theodora too lol how  rare is this Name?]]></description>
