After many days of being stranded in airports, causing havoc for travelers worldwide, including those making connections in Vancouver and Whistler, finally weary travelers are making their way home.

And while Iceland’s main international airport is reopening today, after a three-day closure caused by easterly winds that began blowing ash from the Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano toward the capital, Reykjavik, travelers are still feeling the repercussions of this major event. 

More than 100,000 flights have been canceled since April 14, when the eruption first began, causing an estimated loss for airlines of more than $2 billion. For more information on damage done to the European economy and other threats, visit the the CTV news.

How did this affect our riders?

Many were not able to leave London for Vancouver’s International Airport (YVR), and missed best friend’s weddings in Whistler, while others weren’t able to go home on their scheduled flights and had to stay longer in Whistler or Vancouver, causing them increased costs in accommodation, losses due to cancellations on various connecting trips, and many other inconveniences!

For those that purchased cancellation insurance with us, we were able to reschedule or refund their full ticket amounts (less the original insurance purchase amount).  Fortunately, many of our travelers had purchased this insurance coverage and were very relieved to refunded. For those hoping to reschedule, this also was not a problem, as most were able to give us the obligatory 24hr notice with insurance.

It was a different story for those who didn’t bother with the low cost to purchase insurance. While for some we were happy to reschedule their transfers, others found themselves out of pocket if they wanted to cancel the transfer altogether and had not purchased the insurance.

Consider this!  …

A round trip transfer purchased through Ridebooker, from Vancouver’s YVR to Whistler with the SkyLynx Shuttle is:

• $98 ($49 each way)
• + $7.84 (Cancellation Insurance)
• + $5.29 (Tax)
• = $111.13 Grand Total

Yes, you can save yourself just under $8 dollars on this transfer if you don’t purchase the insurance, but what happens if your flight is canceled, due to unforeseen events such as the erupting volcano that affected over 100,000 passengers? An unexpected injury or family illness? Without this low payment (8% of the original price), we’re unable to refund your cost on the transfer. You’re loss in this instance, without coverage,  would have been $102.90.  In this economy, who can can afford that?!

So you choose: out of pocket $7.84, or $102.90? The risk is yours!

I’d take the smaller amount any day. Especially in this ever-changing world. You never know what’s around the corner. Protect your wallet!

We like to see you happy!
