Do they send a copy of the policy with the ticket and does it have the Covid 50k cover highlighted?

my fav route .. gotta love Teesside airportGordon *******
Right, good to get a good deal!
Gordon *******
Yes, convenient for me, quite often prices are higher from Teesside so will go from Newcastle then. Much easier regional airports, Heathrow is a nightmare, together with traveling back to the North East also

I've just booked with Etihad on NYE - good times, short stop over and reasonably priced.
Nick *******
Only do the Middle East airlines from Manchester and my preference would be 1. Qatar 2. Emirates 3. Etihad but the winner would be best price and duration out of those 3.
Martin *********
Don’t go Thai they keep cancelling at the last minute

Stuart *********
I don’t think everyone is choosing a particular airline or route, just what flights suit their budget and timeframes. You can go London direct to Bangkok, but from Manchester most would transit via the Middle East countries, so Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, etc. Some transit via Turkey ( hearing about many cancellations from there) or someone like FinnAir. etc.
