Very few, if any, people will be taking elective/recreational flights anywhere for the foreseeable future. British Airways and American are both giving up Gatwick. Maybe Australia's "alliance" can stay afloat for a while with their bellies full of cargo. But nobody in their right mind is going to take their Sydney family on a "vacation in Greece." New Zealand, maybe.
