I don't think there will be any tourists or business people on those flights.

Our niece is booked on what will probably be the last Ryan flight to Trieste from the UK. She is currently on the train to the airport. I think at this time the flight is fully booked (there were a few seats left yesterday). I am pretty sure that it will be only Italian residents returning home.

We have also heard of a honeymoon couple that are on probably the last flight back to Rome from the Maldives. Their flight from Rome to Milan has been cancelled so they will have to return here by train.

After this weekend I think it will be very difficult for anyone overseas to return home to Italy. Goodness only knows what hardship and difficulties this may cause.

Good to know that Trump has closed flights to Europe but not to the UK. I think he and Boris should have a face to face Presidential visit wink
