EasyJet cancels over 100 flights due to Covid – how to get refund
EasyJet has cancelled around 100 flights on Monday – including 62 from the UK – due to high levels of staff absence due to Covid.The budget airline claimed it had tried to offset the issue by using standby crew, but had to “make some cancellations in advance”.It comes as demand for airline travel skyrockets due to the beginning of the Easter school holidays.EasyJet claimed the cancellations only made up a small percentage of its Monday Schedule of around 1,645 flights.An EasyJet spokesperson, said: "Unfortunately it has been necessary to make some additional cancellations for today and tomorrow.“We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause."An EasyJet spokesperson confirmed that affected customers have been contacted.They have the option to either rebook an alternative flight or take a voucher or refund.The website adds: "If your flight is cancelled, there are several options available to you, which you can request quickly and easily by logging into Manage Bookings here on our website or via our easyJet App:EasyJet is one of Europes largest airline carriers.Airports are also struggling with staffing leading to long security and check-in queues.Passengers at Manchester Airport claims that long queues at check-in and security have caused some holidaymakers to miss their flight – and there have been long waits at the baggage reclaims carousels.Yesterday, traveller Donna Mayfield told the BBC that the experience was “horrendous” and another claimed to have seen both holidaymakers and staff members “in tears”.Manchester Airport apologised and noted that people’s experiences fell “below the standard” they aim for.A spokesperson commented: “Our whole industry is facing staff shortages and recruitment challenges at present,

Kiki the cat, missing for 5 years, flies from Edmonton to Ontario for reunion with owners
cat again.While living in Edmonton, their Siamese cat Kiki got out and never came home.“She’s always been such a great cat. She just wants you to pet her, anyone whose met her knows that you don’t want to lose this cat,” Antev said.For months, after the eight-year-old cat escaped, Antev said she and her and her family worked hard to try and find her.They put up signs, door-knocked, and handed out posters in their neighbourhood with zero success.“We put out food for her, we put out a trap, but we never caught anything — not her or anything else.”Almost a year after Kiki went missing, Antev and her family moved to Ontario.“We kind of almost gave up hope that we would find her at that point, we also had a lot of coyotes that lived in the neighborhood and we were really scared about that.”After the move, Antev said her husband tried to get her to change her phone number to an Ontario area code.Since it was the number listed on Kiki’s microchip however, she refused — holding out hope that one day Kiki would be found.Meanwhile, the missing cat had made her way to Hana Kadri’s home in Rapperswill — a new neighbourhood in the Castledowns area of northwest Edmonton, that’s less than a 10-minute drive away from where she went missing.After she saw the small cat on her backyard cameras, Kadri started leaving out food.“I was home so I would see her come eat, and she would come three times a day for food, so I posted on a local Facebook page to see if she belonged to anyone,” said Kadri.With the help of a neighbour, Kadri trapped Kiki and she was taken to the vet — where her microchip was scanned, and Antev was called.“Five years later I got a call from the vet saying ‘we have Kiki,’” she said.“I just started sobbing.

New Covid variant confirmed in UK - but scientists don't know how infectious it is yet
Covid strain has been found in the UK – but boffins say it’s too early to say exactly how transmissible it really is.Top scientists at the UK Health Security Agency warned they were studying the new XE variant.They say it is a mutation of the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron strains, meaning it is a “recombinant” as it is a combination of two other viral sources.But experts currently don’t know if it is more transmissible than previous strains that have previously wreaked havoc across the UK.There were 637 cases with the XE strain in England as of March 22, the health agency said.It means it would make up just a small fraction of cases reported with the latest data showing almost 70,000 people in England were positive for the virus on April 2.The health agency said initial growth rates showed that XE was not dissimilar from BA.2, according to Wales Online.It added: "As this estimate has not remained consistent as new data have been added, it cannot yet be interpreted as an estimate of growth advantage for the recombinant."Numbers were too small for the XE recombinant to be analysed by region.”Top government boffin Sir Patrick Vallance admitted the next Covid variant could be worse than Omicron.He said it would be a “mistake” to think the more the virus evolves, the less deadly it would become.

Although Covid cases may have peaked, there will be more hospitalisations and deaths to come from this current wave, Sir Patrick added.He told MPs that despite the vaccination programmes success at preventing deaths, it was not a "credible" strategy to give people booster jabs every four months.But it isn’t all doom and gloom for
