“There are security guards at the hotel the crew are at to prevent them from leaving. They haven’t even been guaranteed rooms for tonight, so it could be a case of sleeping on the reception floor,” an associate of the staff influenced told the BBC.
They encouraged activity to get the staff home, saying “they’ve already been through more than enough”.
Another holidaymaker, Shaun Woods, said their flight was expected to leave on Wednesday, yet the lodging said it would not give them a chance to jump on the transport to the air terminal until they paid.

Mr Woods said around 30 Thomas Cook clients at their lodging had been influenced.
A UK government representative said it and the Civil Aviation Authority “were working around the clock to support all those affected”.
