He said: "From Thomas Cook we didn't get anything. I feel sorry for the reps because I don't think they knew anything either.

"It was the hotel which kept us up to date. Everyone in the hotel here is shocked, and everyone in this hotel has come with Thomas Cook. For us, it's an inconvenience, for them it's their livelihoods."

Scottish tourists hoping to fly back to Glasgow from Majorca said they now expected to head to Birmingham - 250 miles away - before getting home by coach.
