Britons pay for UK-chartered flight out of Middle East

The UK government is arranging a commercial charter flight from Dubai to help British nationals who want to leave the Middle East, according to UK embassy sources. The flight is expected to depart early next week. Passengers will be charged for their seats and must hold valid travel documents. Dependants who are not UK nationals will need a visa or permission to remain in the UK valid for more than six months.
