It applies ONLY to tickets booked BEFORE 4/14 (when only British airspace was impacted), yet other cities now covered also have the "ticket by" date of 4/14...
In my case, I booked a ticket on 4/15 to PRG... Does that mean that the travel waiver won't apply to my ticket?
Yes, the travel waiver as stated doesn't apply to your ticket. I have a similar situation, where on Apr 16 I booked a trip via FRA on May 2.
I'm figuring that if the volcano thing really continues that long, United will issue a new travel waiver. The interesting question will be what new "tickets bought by" date they choose.
Also, you didn't mention if your PRG trip is leaving this week or what. If so, you may be in worse shape. But even so, as a 1k, the usual "try calling several times" strategy should work ok.
