Family's easyJet heartbreak minutes after arriving at airport

A family has opened up on their nightmare experience in Turkey after their flights were cancelled at the last minute.

Michael Tierney and his family were forced to pay nearly £2,500 for new flights and hotels when they became stranded in Turkey amid more chaos at Manchester Airport. The family, which includes nine-month-old Ralphie, flew to Antalya in Turkey two weeks ago and were due to return to Manchester Airport late on Tuesday, May 31.

Michael has revealed that when they arrived at the airport the family found that their easyJet flight had been cancelled which led to chaotic scenes for a number of families who had been left with no way of getting home. The dad-of-three also revealed that Ralphie even cried so much that he fainted and dozens of people were left with no choice but to stay in the airport for the night in hope that another flight would become available, the Manchester Evening News reports.
