Q I have a court case in Turkey at the end of the month. First, how do I get there? My ideal airport is Stansted, flying to Dalaman. But while flights are often advertised they then seem not to happen. Do you have any recommendations as I cannot really have any cancellations? Coupled with this is the logistics of getting a PCR test which I believe has to be within 72 hours of arrival. So a direct flight would be less stressful.

Second. I want to avoid the expensive hotel quarantine on return to the UK. What do you recommend?
