A man is stranded in Ibiza after missing four flights home and is now crowdfunding to try to buy another ticket - but has so far raised just £10. Saz Ismail, 36, admits he is a 'walking disaster' and has launched a GoFundMe appeal to try to pay his way home.
Saz, who says he "shouldn't be allowed" to go on holiday on his own, missed one flight by five minutes then managed to book one that was taking off from the wrong island. Another flight he'd managed to book would have flown into the wrong airport.
Saz told StafordshireLive: "My friend Kane wanted to go out to Ibiza and was already out there. He asked me if I wanted to go on the impromptu so I thought 'why not?' I really like my House and Dance music scene and I had never been before so I thought it would be a good opportunity.
"I went out there from East Midlands Airport on Tuesday last week and was supposed to be there for three days. I spent three days out there and I went to see DJ Nathan Dawe. He was performing in one of the clubs on the Thursday night and I was supposed to come back on the Friday.
"However I stayed out and I decided not to get the flight back on Friday night as I was out until about 4am. I thought to myself, 'I am not going to make this', so I decided to get a different flight."
The dad of two said: "I have no idea what happens next. I am looking over all my options. I am exhausted, to be honest. I've had a good time though. Ibiza is really pretty. I went to the Kevin and Perry Go Large live show, based on the film.
"It's cost me hundreds of Euros and I am worried about the funds but I have enjoyed myself. It has been really good but really expensive booking into other hotels and sorting the flights."
He said he's also expecting a big bill for the car park at East Midlands Airport, where his car has been parked now for long over what he'd initially paid for.
He added: "I'm a walking disaster that shouldn’t be allowed to do such trips alone. I need supervision."
