A family has described their ordeal after five of their flights were cancelled as they attempted to meet up for a celebration. During one of the cancelled flights, Dannielle's elderly mother was left stranded in Bristol Airport's Departures area and police ended up having to escort her out.
They are some of hundreds of travellers who have been hit with disruption as airlines have been forced to cancel flights this month.
Three flights due to arrive at the airport today have also been cancelled. Flight cancellations are being experienced at airports across the country and it was believed that hundreds of pupils and teachers would miss the start of term because they would be stranded abroad.
