Governments were scrambling to help their citizens get home after the conflict erupted on Saturday, throwing travel plans into turmoil. Tourists, business travellers and religious pilgrims found themselves stuck unexpectedly in hotels, airports and on cruise ships, with no word on when many airports would reopen or when flights to and through the Middle East would resume.
