You have to remember that BY are a charter airline at the end of the day. If someone’s paying the dosh, I’m sure they’ll fly whoever, pretty much anywhere!

No idea what Damascus is all about though. I’ve heard of some near Middle East tours with people like Kuoni etc, but they’re mainly to Jordan, not Syria.

Very strange!

Ah right – Was just a suggestion, maybe its a positioning flight to take it somewhere to fly people to Mecca ? I dont know.

Possibly – Syrian pilgrims to Mecca would make sense

A bit off topic, but pass this onto your mate that BY have gone crap after TUI took over, the service is rubbish and the aircraft are mucky as ever, my seat had tomato ketchup all over it and they did not have enough meals on the plane.
