Chaotic scenes at Heathrow Airport as travellers rush to beat EU travel ban
Telegraph, 21 Dec 2020
Huge queues formed at Heathrow Airport as travellers rushed to avoid travel bans on arrivals from the UK.
Several countries have started banning travel from the UK after a new, highly-infectious coronavirus strain was discovered. With only days until Christmas, many hoped to avoid being stranded in the UK.
France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland were among 11 European countries to close their borders to flights and most freight lorries, trains and ferries from the UK from midnight on Sunday night, but the ban could be extended to the entire bloc.
