A flight from Zante which left nearly 200 people facing two weeks' self-isolation was a "debacle" and a "free-for-all", passengers say.

One traveller said the Tui flight was full of "covidiots" and "inept crew who couldn't care less". Another claimed there "wasn't much" policing of rules.

The 193 passengers and crew who were on board the flight on 25 August are being asked to self-isolate for a fortnight.

Health officials said 7 people from three different parties are believed to have been potentially infectious on board the aircraft.

Greece and its islands remain on the UK government's list of quarantine-exempt countries, meaning travellers do not need to self-isolate on their return.

Victoria Webb was also on the flight and said she only became aware of the outbreak when her mother sent her a link to the BBC News story as she travelled home to London from Cardiff. She has now quarantined in line with government advice, but said she has received no communication from health bodies, such as track and trace.

This may be an isolated incident but 193 passengers and crew are now affected, as are their families, friends, colleagues and acquaintances, since the passengers had been home for 5 days before any were contacted by the authorities.

Thanks to a few "morons" .....

Since we're not aware of what cabin crews have been told to do in such situations, and given reported incidents of attacks on them, it seems a bit harsh to insist upon their dismissal. We only have one witness stating "they didn't give a toss", which doesn't really mean anything. Who knows, they may have asked politely but were unable to take any further action. We don't know!

Well sack them anyway. The flight crew too. AND the passengers for holding a rave AND hit TUI with a ten grand fine for organising it.

That's the mood I'm in today!
