Three weeks ago, after much deliberation, lots of research, and taking advice from medics, we decided to go ahead with our 'dream holiday' to a country which, at that time, had single digit cases of the virus, and was not on an 'at risk' list of places to travel to. We live, and flew, from a country which seemingly had things well under control, at that time.
Within a few short days of us arriving at our destination, things rapidly changed, and the country went into complete lockdown. No real advanced warning, little time to rearrange flights home, etc. Our return flights would not be operating (although, we had no notification from the airline), and all of our hotels cancelled on us! Thankfully, we were one of the lucky ones who managed to get on one of the last flights out operated by our airline (at our own expense). Tens of thousands of other visitors to that country were not so lucky, and were left stranded, told they had to be in isolation, but had nowhere to stay!
On the day that we flew out, there were many passengers checking in for our flight, who were transit passengers flying back to UK/Europe, only to be told that they could no longer transit, and are basically stuck there! These people tried, and failed, to secure flights home, at the very short notice that was given to them, and at their own expense.
If I could turn the clock back, and knew what I know now, of course I wouldn't have gone. We're home now, doing our required home isolation, and are very thankful that we are safe. We all learn by our mistakes. But there are many thousands of travellers out there who do need help to be repatriated to their home countries, through no fault of their own.
