Day two of Operation Matterhorn at Palma Airport and it seems more organised this morning.

Some passengers waited at the airport for 18 hours on Monday. Today, almost 2,000 Thomas Cook passengers are trying to get home. The maximum wait is likely to be 10 hours for those trying to get to Birmingham (it is also diverted to Manchester).

A small sign at the Thomas Cook kiosk which is still open shows a list of eight repatriation flights on Malaysian Airlines and Titan Airways planes.

At the front of a long check-in queue for Bristol is Jill Metcalf, who arrived at the airport three and a half hours early in “one of a fleet of taxis from our hotel” she says, adding that, “nobody trusted whether the Thomas Cook coaches would bother to turn up” to take them to the airport.

The coaches did arrive - though the drivers aren’t certain they’ll be paid. Val Smith, also returning to Bristol, told me she has been “shaking with nerves” with the stress of getting back and breathed a huge sigh of relief once her bags were checked in.

Around a dozen Thomas Cook staff at the information desk have arrived to advise people. They’re still waiting for the official word to stop working. One of them, Antonia, told me that she’d rather be at the airport than at home being depressed about her situation, adding that she finds it sad, wearing a uniform of a company that no longer exists.

The Financial Reporting Council has just announced: “In light of recent developments at Thomas Cook we are considering whether there is any case for investigation and enforcement action as a matter of urgency and in cooperation with the Insolvency Service.”

Jessica Beeton, 27, and Richard Berrington, 31, arrived in Spain on Sunday for a week long break which they booked through Thomas Cook.

As of 3pm on Monday afternoon, however, everyone who booked in to stay at a hotel in Almería through Thomas Cook were locked out their rooms.

"The only option we were given was to pay what Thomas Cook hasn't, or get our stuff and leave,” she says.

Ms Beeton says she and her partner have paid £520 on a credit card and hope to claim it back on Sunday when they return.

She says: "Most of the people in this hotel are elderly and about five couples of pensioners are having to sleep on sofas in reception with none of their belongings or access to food. They haven't even been provided with a blanket or pillow.

"The Thomas Cook staff were as helpful as they could be and tried booking us into another hotel, but there aren't enough rooms available and have since left."

As for the hotel: "The staff are treating us as if we are in the wrong and intended not to pay them. I have no idea if we are going to be kicked out in the night or what we are supposed to do tomorrow.

"We have called the CAA four times and they have supposedly spoken directly to reception and explained they legally need to let us back in our room. However they don't care, they just want their money."

"The Atrium Prestige could not have been kinder or more hospitable given the situation," she reports.

"We were really stressed about what would happen, but after receiving this letter (above) we feel like we can relax and enjoy the rest of our holiday.

"We know we are very lucky and feel very grateful to the staff at our hotel for being so lovely. We thought this letter deserved some credit as the staff didn’t have to go out of their way to do this."

Several worried readers have been in touch with questions about Thomas Cook travel cards.

"Is money deposited onto a Thomas Cook Cash passport card still valid?" asks Peter Hetherington.

"My wife fortunately returned from her holiday a few days before the collapse. But, while away, loaded money onto a Thomas Cook travel card. She still has a couple of hundred pounds left on the card; is this still available to her?" asks Steve Sutton.

The BBC has spoken to Mastercard about this issue and the message is that cash on the cards is safe.

"The Thomas Cook multi-currency travel card is unaffected by the news of the company's collapse," a Mastercard spokesperson told the BBC.

"The safety of your money is not affected as the funds are not held by Thomas Cook, but by Wirecard Card Solutions Limited (Wirecard) as the issuer of your card.

"Cardholders can continue to use their cards as normal."
