It’s a rough situation. The airlines don’t assist other than rebooking in the future, and I’ve spoken with the insurer who say they just call it a “travel inconvenience” which is limited to a $500 claim |
This is just the first stages, wait till the lava starts running down the slopes and fire is spewing out.

Standby for all the stories about people stuck in Bali and running out of vital medicine because they didn't bring any extra along with them just incase.
