Great Long-haul Holiday Ideas from Direct Travel Insurance

Its two years since the ash cloud wrought havoc on the travel plans of millions, closing airspace across Europe and multiplying costly cancellations.

The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland had an astonishing impact in April 2010 and more natural catastrophes have caused huge disruption since, including earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tornados, hurricanes and tsunami.
