⬇️ ICYMI: Repatriation flights from the inferno on Rhodes are landing back in the UK with empty seats, as British holidaymakers complain that they have struggled to get off the Greek island
that the aircraft they travelled on had dozens of spare seats.
The pair said they were surprised to find the aircraft so empty, as the flights had been listed as being sold out on the EasyJet website the day before. Photos from the flight showed dozens of empty plane seats. Mr Small said that EasyJet had handled the flights out “so poorly”, saying the airline had delayed his original flight out by 14 hours and then again on Sunday, when it didn’t have enough room to fit them on the next flight.Rebecca Edwards, 36, and David Hollings, 41, were on one EasyJet repatriation flight that landed at Gatwick around 3.45pm. They said there were about seven or eight seats empty on the flight.
The lecturer said she had heard about fires in the area before boarding but was repeatedly assured at the airport that if the Tui app had not cancelled the trip, it was safe to go and their holiday would be unaffected. Another British family suggested they book a ferry journey to Turkey, just an hours boat ride, and although most of the ferries were fully booked, they managed to get tickets out of the island for 9am on Monday morning.
