Travel restrictions coming back? ✈️❌

After a surge in Covid cases in China, countries are becoming concerned & bringing back travel restrictions on arrivals from China.

Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and India have all imposed rules, with the US rumoured to be considering.

Genuinely astounded at the decision by British Airways to cancel a further 10,300 flights.

Cannot imagine the sheer disruption this will cause to those looking to travel in the months ahead who may have already made plans corresponding to their travels (e.g., accommodation...)
