That's a complete load of rubbish. That's not 'unprecedented flexibility'. Jet2, who we were booked with, wrote round saying they could not do the trips and offered complete refunds to everyone. You didn't even have to apply, they just turned up within a couple of weeks.
They also didn't make any staff redundant, but just put them on the government furlough scheme. To fund all this, Philip Meeson, founder and chairman of Jet2, sold his ownership of the associated distribution cargo company, which had been the business origins. Just all seemed honourable; can you see the BA/IAG principal shareholders doing that? Can you guess who I have channelled our family holiday trips to ever since they started again?
