Dad 'in tears' as suitcase missing after Ryanair flight to Manchester is diverted

A dad whose flight was supposed to land at Manchester Airport was left 'in tears' after losing his suitcase in Birmingham amid winter travel chaos. Freezing weather on Saturday (December 10) meant Jeremi Kaliba's Ryanair flight from Prague was unable to arrive in Manchester as planned.

The 36-year-old, who has a nine-month-old son, was supposed to land in Manchester at 7.40am. But with the airport's runways closed due to snow, the flight was diverted to Liverpool before being moved again to Birmingham Airport, where it landed at 9.20am.

Jeremi was taken by bus back to Manchester along with the other passengers, the Liverpool Echo reports. But as he arrived at 6pm, he realised his suitcase had been left in Birmingham - along with cash, Christmas presents, and medication for his son Philip.
