I worked out that most passengers on KLM Toulouse A'dam and KLM Turin

I'm not sure what any of this has got to do with tourists flying to UK

I sell tours and hotel rooms on-line in London and Paris. There was a very

the second. Traffic hasn't really recovered for me as yet, although this
will be partly seasonal.
