Brits 'abandoned' on airport floor after London flight diverts to Bermuda

Bank holiday travellers facing a 20-hour wait on an airport floor in Bermuda say they have been "abandoned in the middle of the Atlantic" after their flight was diverted.

Passengers on board the American Airlines flight AA38 from Miami to London saw their plans change drastically on Monday (August 29) when the plane was forced to make an emergency landing just three hours after taking off from Miami International Airport.

The travellers have since been left stranded at LF Wade International Airport in St George's, Bermuda, where they are scheduled to board a replacement flight to London Heathrow at 8pm local time — a whole 20 hours after they landed.
