Wouldn’t the airlines and businesses love the free publicity of how they took advantage of people in difficult situations?Example of the hotel which sent the wrong information to an employee last week and didn’t realize it, until it was on a radio broadcast.
Well I want to say thanks to TUI who are refunding the cost of the holiday we should have been going on to-morrow. Thanks also to Aspire Lounges for refunding our lounge voucher and to ITISON who are giving us a credit for the parking we had booked through them at the airport. Our only loss is the large excess we paid on our annual travel insurance through our bank .

The employees at the firm where my granddaughter works, all working from home, have been give £150.00, in addition to their salary, to cover any incidental expenses.
