'Absolute shambles': Tui holiday break sees family stranded for 14 hours at airport

A family was left waiting for 14 hours at an airport as their holiday in Cyprus ended with a travel nightmare. Mum-of-four Lisa Mason was on a Tui break and was due to fly back to Manchester Airport.

Things got off to a bad start when they boarded their plane at Larnaca airport an hour late after being told the flight was delayed, StokeonTrentLive reports. It was then a three-hour wait in the plane on the runway before everyone was taken back into the airport.

Lisa, 47, from Wolstanton, said the shambolic situation has 'completely taken the shine off' the family's first holiday since the pandemic. She had booked the break for her and children Holly, aged 21; Poppy, aged 16; Daisy, aged 11 and nine-year-old James at Tui in Newcastle town centre.
