Spain has imposed various restrictions that effectively forbid UK passport holders from entering Spain as tourists. Yes there are exceptions, but most Brits who go for a week of sun on the beach are caught by this
Suppose an airline has sold tickets for a flight from the UK to Spain, with a travel date during the lockdown, and decides to operate the flight instead of cancelling. I'm NOT thinking specifically of Wizz/Tenerife here, it's a more general question
Who is liable in the event of a pax being refused entry to the country ? Airline or pax ?
If a pax checks in online with a UK/EU passport and recives a boarding card, is the airline entitled to refuse boarding at the gate ?
Can the airline decline a refund on the grounds that the seat was available and said flight operated, and use the get-out that responsibility for compliance with immigration rules lies with the passenger and not the airline ?
