Tui cancels almost all of its July holidaysDuring the last three weeks of July, Tui will carry fewer than 400 passengers a day from the UK on averageBritain’s biggest holiday company has cancelled the vast majority of its packages for July.Tui will resume operations on 11 July – so long as the government relaxes its warning against all but essential travel abroad and eases the quarantine rules for returning holidaymakers.But just 8,300 customers will travel with the company in the three weeks to the end of July. This represents only 4 per cent of the original planned capacity, with fewer than 400 passengers on a typical day.Before the coronavirus pandemic, Tui carried an average of 74,000 travellers daily in its worldwide operations.The holiday firm is hoping to increase to 50 per cent of holidays in August.Initially, Tui will use only three airports in the UK: Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester.Only eight destinations will be served, all of them islands: four in Spain and four in Greece.Greece has yet to reveal its plans for UK travellers from July onwards, but Tui expects to offer holidays to the islands of Corfu, Crete, Kos and Rhodes.

Anatomy of a survey scam – how innocent questions can rip you off
Only had a quick look but looks to me as thought easyJet Holidays and Jet2 are offering hols on Kef in August - though that might get pushed back. I think maybe that article is part fact, part opinion - nowt wrong with that, I'm just not entirely sure what's what. I reckon a lot is down to demand... if people want to go (and can do so without spending two weeks in quarantine upon their return) the tour companies will find a way to get them there. The 'planes, staff, etc are all available, just waiting. I think maybe we're all waiting to see if there'll be a second wave when lockdown is further eased in the near future.
