A couple had a nightmare end to their first holiday together when they were left stranded in the airport despite arriving three hours early for their flight home. Chloe Lightfoot and Chelsea Robinson, both 23, watched in horror as their plane flew off without them after a shortage of staff at Amsterdam Airport meant they were stuck in the line for security for three hours.
The couple say they had followed easyJet’s advice to arrive early for their 2pm flight back to Manchester on Monday (September 26). Chloe told the M.E.N. that they were held up due to understaffing and they had to pay around over £350 for a flight to Edinburgh the following day (September 27) and one night’s stay in a hotel in Amsterdam.
