50,000 Britons are stranded abroad from volcanic ash that has covered their country. Many cannot go back home until next month. Some are staying at the airport, spending time on sleeping bags without any food supplement. British airways was putting extra flights from countries such as New York, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. However, it turned out to be that BA was selling extra seats at premium prices from airports where passengers remain stuck. 

This is a picture of Bangkok International Airport. As you can see, it is very crowded with Brits waiting to go back home. I can imagine how much chaos this is because I have been to this airport about a month ago for Habitat for Humanity trip.When I was at the airport, it was crowded with many people even though it was before the volcanic ash eruption. I can assume how much confusion is going on in the airport.

Many were left to sleep on cardboard mats after their money ran out because  airlines including Thai Airways – the country’s main carrier – declined to  offer them the hotel accommodation that must be provided under EU regulations. The travelers shouted ‘Tell us the truth!’ ‘Give us the information’ and ‘Get us out of  here’ and angrily gathered around the check-in desks.

Due to the irresponsible behaviors of Thai Airways, the demand for that airways would decrease in a long run. Thai Airways have been known for providing cheap and decent service but they seem to be providing cheap and unacceptable services to the homeless travelers.
