Brian of London here again. We’ve all heard about the sinking flotilla that seems to have resulted in one lonely French boat making it out to sea. Well looming over the horizon is the next brain dead plan with it’s very own made up word: Flytilla or Flightilla, we’re not sure of the spelling yet.
That’s right, hoards of foul smelling, kefaya carrying (because they’ll probably have to check those in if they wish to remain hidden) loonies will board flights all over Europe trying to arrive at Ben Gurion airport and cause chaos.
Israel HaYom (meaning Israel Today and is the excellent new english language web version of the free daily paper that you now find littering every train, bus, shawarma place and government office) has reported:
“Any hooligans who attempt to break the law and disrupt public order will not be allowed to enter Israel, and will be returned to their countries of origin,” Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich said on Tuesday.
That’s nice to know.
And, acting on information that I half knew I just phoned up EasyJet to ask for their policy on repatriation of individuals denied entry to a foreign country. As I suspected the short answer is: they’re going to pay top dollar out of their own pockets to fly home. Nice.
If the airline lets you change your return you can do so with any normal fees and after paying to upgrade to the full fare for the next flight. If you’ve got a non flexible ticket, you’re out of luck: full fare for you, no refunds.
