Travel industry experts are warning over the availability of flights and holidays due to the aftermath of the Iraq War, as those whose trips were cancelled are rebooking. Bookings to Portugal have risen by 42% over the two weeks leading up to 13 March, the largest increase from the UK's list of destinations covered by Thomas Cook. While the UK government advises against travel to Egypt and Turkey, this does not include tourist hotspots, it is not recommended to travel within 10km of the border with Syria.
