And let's give airlines a break. This is a very fast moving situation and it's hard to plan anything when Governments just impose things without any consultation or warning and then change their minds a couple of days later.
I agree with that sentiment but US citizens returning to the USA from the UK cannot even fly into an airport like MCO - they've got to go through one of the 13 funnel airports. Taking MCO as an example; US citizens can't fly into that airport and neither can UK citizens. Who is left to travel on a flight like this that hasn't been cancelled? If BA can manage to cancel their flights for tomorrow and Wednesday then I don't see why it's so difficult for VS.
