I am only too happy to put you in the picture. At least now you know. I hope others in the same situation read this also. We have, indeed, been abandoned to our own devices by our Government. Not at all surprising.

I am looking at ways to get home and have had four flights cancelled but there are flights from Barcelona to London at around £300 and via Brussels at about the same price I would go for one of these but my wife is worried we will be stranded half way so we have decided to stay until we can get a direct flight from Alicante to the U.K.

I do feel it is my responsibility to get home as long as there is available flights if Spain does like Peru and India and close the airspace then I would expect help from the Government but I chose to come here I chose to stay and wait for the cheap flight I had booked home and I am not in any danger as the local Pharmacy is filling my U.K. prescription. If I want to go home I can but it will cost me 10 times what it would normally cost.

Hi,

We had booked return flights, in fact we booked flights throughout this year.It would have been nice if easyJet had informed us of the situation and offered us the option of a flight instead of just cancelling all and stringing us along. I would like yourself be scared of getting stuck in another city and being more exposed.

Thanks
