We where in a local travel agent the other day considering a Med Cruise which sails from Barcelona. Last time we did a similar cruise we flew Teesside / Amsterdam / Barcelona. Even though the KLM link is still operational and they are accepting Teesside / Amsterdam reservations up to next summer our travel agent said that the cruise lines are not contracting any Teesside flights due the airport,s uncertain future. (they don,t want to get caught out by stranded passengers stuck at an airport which has gone bust). Very sad and annoying when we live 10 minutes from Teesside.
