What do you suggest they should do during a pandemic where people from the UK are still being recommended not to travel? Run a massively loss service so they don’t upset a handful of people?

I sympathise with you but this is along way from being over, sadly.

I had the same email too. My flight to Bristol was on 5 June.
However, the eml suggested that I rebook my flight. I notice that EJ flights as per their website say that these flights should resume from 17 Jul.
I wonder why EJ show flights from PFO to Bristol will run3 times weekly from 17Jul, as if there aren't sufficient people traveling, surely it would make more sense to reduce the number for now to once or twice until things pick up again.

My return flight with EJ on 6th July cancelled. They have taken a booking on 10th July. We shall see. If they cancel again, I'll book with BA.

BA have changed the time of my flight on 25th June, but the time change suits me fortunately.

That said, if the UK government looked at outbound travel, in the same way as they do for inbound travel, things might ease up. I really don't think that the pandemic is the consideration here anymore.

Hi Jackie,
Your comments are helpful to me. I am getting sick of the game being played by EJ, who continue to offer 3 x flights per week from Paphos. Then scrub them all. It's become their' go to' remedy. Whilst I sympathise with them, as I do with all airlines who are caught up by Boris's on and off tactics.
I am about to book with BA who seem to be more reliable!

Best ask the people of Hounslow, the midlands, the north west etc, where this new variant is multiplying at an incredible rate if the pandemic is over?

6,300 new cases yesterday

On the Other Hand - Maybe the pandemic fiction now and it just another one of Boris's schemes to put coffers in friends pockets who own most of the holiday accommodation in the UK?

I would rather take the hit now, than another autumn / winter lockdown

Yes Dee I agree,sometimes the reason you need to get back to UK are serious and not just visiting friends and relatives,I have to get back for genuine reasons and like you are fed up with the likes of Easy Jet advertising their flights then you book in good faith then they cancel,i have rebooked with Ryan air in early July to Liverpool ,fingers crossed!

BOB

Do you live in any of the areas you mention, or know anyone who does ?

I do know how this pandemic is being treated by many living in those areas, by totally ignoring the lockdown rules, therefore no matter how careful the rest of the population is, this virus will mutate and spread, whilst new strains are being imported by those allowed to travel into our country. We who have totally obeyed all the rules, are being ignored, our lockdowns haven't prevented anything, and now we are like prisoners in our own country.

Be assured that it I am not alone in feeling this way, those that are vaccinated should be allowed safe movement, that is not happening.

I thought BA only flew in to Paphos once a week but having looked at dates in July its looks like a daily service?

Our flight from Luton on the 10th has just been cancelled...very frustrating!

Isn’t that a similar distance from Bristol then?

I was flying from Bristol with EJ.

Now I'm flying from Heathrow, not convenient but at least I hope to take off.

Lotus, for me it's got to be a taxi. It'll be expensive, but to see my son and family, who I haven't seen since 2019, its worth every penny. Good luck.

Another option is Ryanair to Bournemouth which may or may not be closer? They have cancelled the Tuesday service but running Saturdays
