Why US cirizens pay so much for repatriation flights…
“He could have flown back to the United States on a commercial flight in March, but he thought the coronavirus restrictions would ease off in early April, so he didn’t feel the urgency to go home until last week.”
“He feels the U.S. government should step in and cover the cost.”
Poor judgement and then wants a free flight.
Enough said.
Add to that:
“Some travel insurance policies with emergency evacuation provisions would have covered the cost. Blair did not buy one prior to his trip.”
