A holidaymaker was left distraught after the airline she was travelling with lost a bag containing her waterproof prosthetic leg needed to enjoy her break.
Emily Tuite, 26, was forced to spend almost the entire trip to San Diego calling up Allegiant Airlines in the hope that her custom-made medical limb could be found.
She checked in her bag at the airport on September 1 ahead of the flight and was planning to use the device for beach activities such as swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Without it she cannot even stand up in the shower.
