If you’re looking for a little adventure this summer — a strike, a riot or maybe even a revolution — skip the Middle East and visit Europe.
EUROPE
EU 261. Mention the word to an airline employee, and you’re likely to get one of the following responses.
Here’s a story that’s familiar to anyone traveling to and from Europe in the last week: Erupting volcano. Canceled flight. Nothing to do but hit the Internet for some help.
The ash from an Eyjafjallajokull glacier volcanic eruption in Iceland that forced the cancellation of more than 4,000 flights in Northern Europe this morning has raised some questions about the rights of air travelers, and particularly how EU laws handle displaced passengers.
If you think fees are outrageous here in the United States, may I suggest a European vacation? Minisha Kochar recently visited Spain, where she rented a car through AutoEurope. Before her trip, the company quoted her a “guaranteed” rate of $818. Needless to say, that’s not the rate she found on her final bill.
You probably already know about foreign exchange fees. But did you know your credit card may not work overseas at all?
