Well this is inside information not that I am one for gossip...but Alfa who suppy the food and bars that go on planes ....didnt bother to order as the flights stopped but flights have been going out with crews on and food to bring back stranded passages , but now they have ran out of food...

You couldn't make it up could you????

You know me Ann I'm not one for gossip more finger on the pulse :)))

Definitely Hayley, definitely.

and I have my own contacts in there......Its back to Teresa at the studio ..>>

I've been wondering how families have managed with very young children and babies, must be really worrying for them all!

Especially with bottle fed babies, would they have had enough food left I wonder, and nappies? Maybe Boots stayed open in the airports for that reason. They sell jars of baby food don't they?

we have always taken 1 credit card for emergencies infact its the only reason an the only time we use it for holidays...

Yes, we have credit cards on us. Some people seem to have run up huge expenses, presumably on their credit cards.

There will be a lot in debt now.
Do you think a lot who have tried to get their own way back might lose out?
I dont think some of the travel companys will pay out if they have travelled on their own....if you know what I mean.

I think you are right Marion, they are going to have to find ways of not paying or it is going to be too expensive for them, they will find all sorts of loop holes.

Didnt Gordon Brown tell them to try and get to the nearest port but ABTA said no, stay where they are?
I understood you had to go by what your travel company said.
What a nighmare for a lot it is going to be.

I think people must have been really confused by all the conflicting advice, and a lot of them would not have had access to televisions etc if they were at airports in a foreign country. Nightmare!!

I'm sure bills will have been run up willy nilly expecting to get refunds, which wont be the case for all.
Ryanair Sp) are digging their heels in.
