Matt Callaway, director of Savile Row Travel in Henley-on-Thames, told TTG how he has been working hard to get clients home while balancing his own family worries after his wife Sarah became stranded in Dubai. "It's been a crazy, crazy few days, but adrenaline and coffee seem to be getting me through," he said.

Sarah had been visiting Dubai with three friends, one of whom lives in Saudi Arabia, and was due to return on Monday (2 March) before the widespread disruption triggered by the US and Israeli war on Iran.
