You’ve been buzzing about your trip to Bali for weeks. Cozzies and sunscreen are packed, and your boarding pass is in-hand. But just as you’re about to board, your flight is delayed because there’s a volcanic ash cloud shrouding the island.

A trip delay refers to a situation where your travel is delayed after it has already begun, such as being at the airport but your flight is delayed due to bad weather.
