Latest according to Sky News is that if the plume continues at its current intensity it'll reach northern Scotland by Tuesday, with the rest of the United Kingdom, France and possibly Spain by Thursday / Friday.

Let the fun begin...

In all seriousness though, these ash clouds can be pretty devestating for not only the passengers who are affected but also for the airlines, ground handlers and so on. Was there any appearance of insurance policies that covered ash clouds for these? Hopefully this won't become an annual event.
