A British couple paid £1,500 to be driven hundreds of miles across the Middle East in a “disco bus” to board a flight to London from Oman, in an effort to escape the escalating war in the region.
Though the UK government’s first repatriation flight from Muscat failed to take off on Wednesday due to a technical issue, a British Airways (BA) flight from the Omani capital landed at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 shortly before 9am on Thursday.
