Coronavirus: Travellers from Spain told to quarantine
British Airways said it was"disappointed" about the latest changes to the government's travel advice and rules, although the airline said its flights were continuing to operate.The Airport Operators Association said the new measures would"further damage what is already a fragile restart of the aviation sector which continues to face the biggest challenge in its history".
"Customers who no longer wish to travel can transfer their flights without a change fee or receive a voucher for the value of the booking," the company said in a statement. Catalonia has become the latest region to crack down on nightlife. The wealthy north-east region, which is home to Barcelona, ordered all nightclubs to close for two weeks and put a midnight curfew on bars in the greater Barcelona area.
The government is urging employers to be"understanding of those returning from Spain who now will need to self-isolate". John Blackmore, from Hampshire, was due to fly out to his family in Spain with his wife and two young children. But the new rules mean he has had to cancel, for fears his wife's employer would not be able to accommodate her taking an extra two weeks off to quarantine on their return.
Lois Stothard, from South Yorkshire, told the BBC she had booked a holiday to Seville as a surprise for her boyfriend's 30th birthday - due to fly out on Sunday morning - but now feels that she cannot travel.
