Neighbour flew to Rhodes yesterday😳 20:56 - Jul 23 with 3770 views

TUI admitted they knew of the evacuations half-way through the flight but decided to carry on.

They were taken from the airport to a local school doubling up as an evacuation centre, not their hotel which was evacuated earlier that day.

They are still there 24 hours later and told it could be Wednesday before they are moved. No flights out of Rhodes until their scheduled date.

First world problems and all that, but TUI/Jet2 aren’t covering themselves with glory and will be waiting for FCDO advice to change before doing anything about getting people out ahead of schedule.

It’a just bizarre knowing the hotels were shut, these holiday companies dumped a few hundred more directly into evacuation centres.

TUI were giving assurances all was ok yesterday before they took off. 3 people did leave the plane though. This article explains the fun for travellers, who by the letter of contract would lose all money as things stand if they took the decision not to travel. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/23/travel-operators-urged-to-refun

I know its bad.

The news this morning seemed better for those with Tui/TYhomas cook etc, as I think they've stopped flights but Easyjet and Ryanmair are still flying out.........

The Greeks have taken Malta ! That was kept quiet...

Loose texting on my part, unless the Greeks have succeeded overnight where the Ottomans, Italians and Germans failed!
