Following the statement of Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, on 23 March, we are strongly urging UK travellers overseas to return home where and while there are still commercial routes to do so. Around the world, more airlines are suspending flights and more airports are closing, some without any notice.
Please note the flight fares now are exceptionally high, and could continue to rise.
Below we provide:
