Well, it’s the opposite for me. We came to Scotland for a visit, got locked out of Spain, then lockdown in U.K.! Missed getting back by two days😢

Third flight booked for mid May, but looks like this will be cancelled too 😢

We were stuck in Inverness and had many cancelled flights from glasgow and Edinburgh so decided to go to Heathrow where we got a flight with iberia to madrid and then a train to malaga. A long and expensive journey but at least we made it back.

Well done Andy! I honestly didn’t think to do that. Assumed when Spain went into lockdown that airports would have been closed.
