If they're still at the hotel then hopefully a deal can be done where they get cheap accommodation, seeing as the next batch of TC holidaymakers aren't going to be arriving at the hotel, so the rooms may be available and the hotel will be looking to recoup what it can before the aggro of claiming compo from ATOL etc.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

So I'm sure there would have been some already checked-in expecting a TC flight that never arrived or departed (how much warning did the airports get that the scheduled/charter flights weren't arriving or to ground planes ready to start boarding?) and stranded at the airport until someone assisted them with temporary accommodation or an alternative flight.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
