NIGEL HARRIS aka Nigel Blues
Of all the flights from all the airports to all the resorts, it just had to be mine!
Yes we were passengers on the Zante to Cardiff flight that is making all national news with 16 and counting positive Covid.
Pleased to confirm we have both tested negative. We have been 100% well throughout but it's good to get assurance when family and friends are concerned.
The reporting in local and national newspapers, TV and radio, all seemingly based on one woman passenger calling passengers Covidiots and TUI aircrew incompetent does not represent our experience in the slightest and I do not wish to be associated with that. That is harsh and very unfair.
We were in Row 9 of a 27 row plane and saw nobody remove masks (other than for drink or food), walk down the plane to talk to others or do anything unruly. I don't know if it was different further down the plane but if that lady saw all those things, I don't understand why she said nothing on the flight to staff.
The TUI staff did a sound job throughout too. The scariest part of the flight for us was landing in Storm Ellen, that was not an experience I want to repeat.
I suspect the Covid problem was among groups not respecting social distancing on holiday itself more than anything else but we did at all times and had a fantastic, safe holiday.
I hope everyone is OK and recovers quickly.
I can now enjoy my next beer! Cheers!

I agree and so over the top.
His account sounds similar to mine on Ryanair to Portugal 10 days ago.
Everybody calm, keeping their masks on and with the staff doing a good job.
