A friend is trying desperately to 'rescue' her uni-age son from the UK and has hit an important snag which may be of interest to others.
A flight ticket was bought for the afternoon EZY's LGW-BSL service but neither her son nor any non-Swiss nationals were permitted to board as Switzerland was no longer allowing this (shared) airport as a gateway into France, even though immigration/customs segregation is possible airside. Apparently the Swiss Government have claimed EAP as Swiss territory, and thus non-Swiss passport holders are being denied entry ... and thus refused boarding at their point of departure.
