Airlines easyJet and British Airways have cancelled flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh for the holiday season over continued security concerns. The decision comes just weeks after the suspected bombing of a Russian passenger jet travelling from the Egyptian beach resort to Moscow. On Monday the US issued a warning to all its citizens to be cautious when flying - it said that terror groups continue to plan attacks. Vishala Sri-Pathma spoke to Simon Calder, travel editor at the Independent newspaper, and asked him about the immediate effect of the cancelled flights.
