For those who have paid via credit card, get on the phone to your credit card company NOW! Same for those who have paid through an ABTA travel agent, get on the blower to them NOW! For any flight starting XLA Also, you can phone the CAA. CAA Emergency Helpline: 0289 185 6547 or outside UK: 0044 289 185 6547 or XL Airways: 0800 068 8991 or outside UK: 0044 208 242 4783 I would imagine that the XL Airways number will be very, very busy .
