@LBC @NickFerrariLBC

Thnx 4opp 2talk abt current #Airport #Airline #Travel chaos; not just UK prob; it extends across #Europe

Many reasons & blame abound but the return to normality was always going 2B problematic.

#Brexit transferred 261/2004 Rights; @CAA_UK should enforce!
2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? @LBC

Key Q: @GOVUK claim they'd warned #TravelIndustry, concerned that they: "Seriously oversold flights & holidays relative to their capacity".

@grantshapps publish meetings, minutes & warnings; let's see the detail!......
3. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? @LBC @NickFerrariLBC

....It is this use of language, by all parties, that's designed to present their position that creates confusion in #Consumer understanding and indeed their expectations

It's all very good having high expectations, but...
4. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? @LBC @NickFerrariLBC

...Then there's #ConsumerRights; so little discussed & what's written by some commentators is lamentable

Remarkable that we've extensive 261/2004 Rights on UK Statute books, yet, #Airlines @UK_CAA @grantshapps do nothing!

@NickFerrariLBC

Clear & Purposeful #ConsumerRights article from #Ireland. Pity our own newspapers are coming up short

Interesting @DublinAirport committing to compn for PXs; meanwhile nothing in UK?

In my reference to #Majorca as a barometer, here's an example of one such further delay when you get to your destination....no doubt replicated elsewhere...

#Passport control probs 4UK Citizens, evident 4-wks in #Majorca, & elsewhere. This is the new #brexit reality, a fact noted at #Eurocontrol seminar - it's the 1st year UKCits will face this!

#Majorca (& elsewhere): #CostofLiving #SupplyChains #Staffing #Hotels: The problem of re-opening hotels is evident - there's also a prob I suspect with opened hotels and their facilities

Spoke 2couple rtd from #Eygpt - former 'restaurants' at hotel closed. Q'ble drinks, but attentive staff. Then they had to wait 3 hours for their luggage at @bhx_official

Facilities will be the issue in #Summer2022

#InternationalWomensDay2022

I've a number of tributes to pay on this important day.

The first must obviously go to the women of #Ukraine

This picture demonstrates their suffering & their personal courage

I stand with them in #Solidarity

#InternationalWomensDay2022

It's a strange start to this tribute, but today is the 21st anniversary of my Dad's death. His life and of his Mother, Mary Breheny, is couched in real courage through #MotherAndBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries

#Justice is coming!
#InternationalWomensDay2022

I pay tribute to #BreedaMurphy from the #TuamMotherandBabyHomeAlliance

Her passion, compassion and determination against @cnalive @merrionstreet to deliver the stories & change of #Survivors #MotherAndBabyHomes & #Magdalene story is inspirational

Over the years I have tweeted about various aspects about how we travel and its affect on the #environment and the world around us. Through those years I've become more conscious of the travel decisions I make and it hasn't... Image

...always been easy. In my small way I'd travel for business by train rather than car, using rail to travel to #Brussels #Paris, offsetting my #CarbonFootprint when travelling by air. Now I'm looking to #EV, 2replace my car... Image

A couple of years ago whilst I was in #London, I decided to visit the #ExtinctionRebellion protest in #Whitehall where I managed to speak with one of its members, talking about the #Climate and Travel:

During this #COVID I am going to create a rolling thread about key issues and articles of interest, just so as you can see the evolution toward a return to normality in 2022, 2023, 2024 or 2025; according to predictions by #Aviation!
2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19?

Interesting article about #staycations and their price!!

The attitude of some UK h/makers, is I'm afraid, a common feature found in holidays abroad. I've heard many a tale about the Master vs Serf behaviour of some Brits! independent.co.uk/voices/holiday…

It's not done with us yet:

1. #COVID19 #Vaccinations #AntiVax #Morality

I think that I have just experienced something which I suspect many have already.

In simple terms, people hiding the fact that they have been exposed to those with confirmed #Coronavirus and have been ill themselves...
2. #COVID19 #Vaccinations #AntiVax #Morality

...offering that they have tested negative. But, you then discover they're refusing to receive the #vaccine!

In other words, they wish to express their "libertarian" selves, but your views are secondary..
3. #COVID19 #Vaccinations #AntiVax #Morality

...perhaps even your health is secondary to their own "free" views?

Some openly declare they are anti-vaxxers. The stock phrase is that they are now #freethinkers...

I'm very pleased to have finally joined the ranks, beginning with my first #Consumer book on #CabinAirQuality; what every #Passenger needs to know!

I'm also very pleased to report that my second book is now very close to conclusion and looking to early 2022 for publication

It's abt #HumanRights failures in #Ireland & the impacts on my GM/Dad/Family & #Justice! Image

1. #Travel #Holidays #CabinAirQuality #Flights

For many years I have been commenting abt the air we breathe on #aircraft and have been and continue to be politically active on this very important issue for #Passengers & #Aircrew. Image
2. #Travel #Holidays #CabinAirQuality #Flights

This continuous thread will be added to as & when I discover new issues that #Consumers should be aware of. At this stage I will simply point you to my new book: Gaspers; a potential source of information! amazon.co.uk/Gaspers-passen…
3. #Travel #Holidays #CabinAirQuality #Flights

To give you a flavour of the issues at stake, read this #BBC report of a diverted transatlantic flight and its affect on the occupants of the aircraft, their findings and the #airline's response
