Budget airline easyJet has put its spring 2010 seats on sales, meaning timeshare owners can book in advance for their next break.

The UK's largest airline has released the details today, making it easier for timeshare owners to book earlier than before.

New policyholders may not be able to obtain insurance against future flights grounded by the volcano “pa-lava” which again is disrupting air travel in Europe, and this time areas where no-fly zones have been designated include France, Italy and the west coast of Spain.

Insurers are now saying it’s highly unlikely that they will pay compensation for cancelled flights and the news comes with the summer holidays fast approaching.

Aviation experts are warning that there could be more cancellations in the coming months and independent travellers booking their own flights are finding it hard to locate any insurer prepared to pay up against future cancellations. Insurers who did compensate passengers during the first travel chaos episode are now saying they will not, going forward.

For timeshare users interested in Egypt, new air routes are being opened up to the country because of British expats living there, it has been said.

Book a short break this winter and it’s the kind of scenery you could be waking up to. But what if the weather doesn’t co-operate? Then steal a few hours at the hotel spa or pool, or settle in with a glass of something good and finish the book you can’t put down while the rain pelts outside.

Long ago, the idea of a British holiday break might have conjured up images of chilly B&Bs with faulty heating, plastic tea-makers and fuzzy TVs, but thankfully most of those two star disasters have gone the way of the dinosaur.

Airline bmibaby has launched phase one of its summer 2010 flying programme. Timeshare owners will be able to get hold of tickets with bmibaby to book flights for between April 19th and October 23rd 2010.

The airline will be flying from East Midlands, Manchester, Birmingham International and Cardiff Airport to a variety of destinations, including Faro, Malaga, Alicante, Murcia and Palma.

Many people are looking for last minute travel ideas, using the opportunity to take advantage of lower fares from airlines and hotels.
