Story: Love Island contestants fly home with sponsor’s rival They could have easily held seats off sale to use for these people. Someone is going to get a rollicking. Or was it a case of the passengers themselves preferring Ryanair over Jet2?

The decision has nothing to do with the issue of welfare and everything to do with a recent pricing restructure that makes it almost impossible for agents to sell the tickets. TIM
These are intelligent and magnificent animals, condemned to a life of misery for fleeting human amusement. OBSERVER Travel Weekly would welcome a response from Cook
‘Brit-only passport queues are a gimmick’
Story: Longer passport queues warning if UK-only lines agreed after Brexit It is a crazy idea and just another gimmick like the blue passports. The government and prime minister are trying to justify how the British will be different from our European neighbours after Brexit. Let us not look at the Americans as an example, US-only queues or not. Ask Brits what is the worst thing about visiting the US. The answer: passport control.
PATRICK DOYLE Three reasons for half-price summer breaks
Story: Operators slash prices by more than 50% to revive lates And why is there so much discounted capacity on the market? A) Too much mark-up in the first place to accommodate eventual discounts; b) far too much capacity in a diminishing charter market as a result of cruising and cheaper long-haul destinations; c) a few weeks of glorious weather is a marketing excuse for misreading overcapacity.

Agents question Thomas Cook move
Story: Thomas Cook decision to stop selling SeaWorld ‘misguided’ This is clearly a commercial decision, rather than a moral one, or they would have stopped a long time ago. Revenue from said attractions versus lost revenue from negative PR. People are losing the hunger to see caged animals and captive attractions. Whales should be in the ocean. It’s not rocket science… FREE WILLY
