Amid COVID-19 Travel Bans, Airlines Resume Europe Flights-How Is It?

Wizz Air and BA are selling flights to Lisbon from Saturday and throughout the week.. Following the airline's promise last week to offer "very low fares" to rekindle the market, a London-Lisbon ticket will cost as little as £12.99 one-way over coming weeks, though up to a not-so-cheap £69.99.. There is no indication that the gradual lightening of Portugal 's lockdown measures over coming weeks extends to tourism.. Wizz Air too is offering daily flights from Luton to Budapest, and apparently selling them. ". It just seems like more and more booking traps are being set everywhere by airlines eager to make a buck quick.. Unless, as I mention above, the ticket sales are targeting only passengers exempted from European travel bans .. None of the airlines currently selling tickets to Europe clarify the travel restrictions in place in the countries for which fares are available.. Airlines are now ramping up ticket sales to places no tourist can visit.. As The Telegraph article warns "Many customers now won't be entitled to a refund for cancelling their booking", given the FCO advises against travel.. Curiously the airline makes no bones in a press statement
