If most of these airlines thought it was OK to go, initially, then why did so many of them send a load of 'rescue flights' out to pick up most of their passengers recently ie.TUI and others?
I take your comments about passengers being given information and making a responsible choice for themselves but I'm beginning to wonder if a few of these people were given the full facts at the airport or was it case of 'everything's fine' if someone were to ask any of the check-in staff. Also does any advice by the Foreign Office get taken seriously by most operators or do some airlines choose to ignore it?
