LONDON—Thomas Cook caught the travel bug touring 19th-century England, as a Baptist missionary, warning about the dangers of drink.
Later, he took moneyed Victorians on grand tours through Europe, across the Atlantic to North America and up the Nile. The company he founded evolved over nearly two centuries into what it was until very recently—Thomas Cook Group PLC, an all-inclusive travel agency and charter service.
The previous biggest UK peacetime repatriation was in 2017 when Monarch Airlines collapsed. The CAA had to organise flights home for 110,000 customers on specially chartered planes.

Price is paid for being stubborn!
“Trapped” in Florida? Pretty sure there are other airlines that could get him home sooner than waiting two weeks or more for the UK government to “rescue” him.
Trapped? Maybe stranded or left behind.
Thomas cooked !
