A Reuters version of the sold-out-flights news story is here on Australia's ABC: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/flights-out-of-russia-sell-out-after-putin-orders-partial-call-/101464280 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/flights-out-of-russia... It included this paragraph: "Mr Putin's announcement, made in an early-morning television address on Wednesday, raised fears that some men of fighting age would not be allowed to leave Russia." EDIT: To be clear, the linked Reuters report did not say airlines had been told to stop selling tickets, just that above sentence speculating that it could happen. The Reuters report is 6 hours old at the time I am posting it here.
