EasyJet passenger pays £350 for taxi from Bristol to London after cancelled flight

A man had to fork out £350 for a taxi journey from Bristol to London after his flight with easyJet was cancelled. Thousands of Brits have been left furious as easyJet has been making last minute flight cancellations, scuppering their holiday plans.

The low-cost airline scrapped 1,700 flights scheduled for July, August and September due to "unprecedented" air traffic control delays, MailOnline reports, affecting 180,000 holidaymakers. Those who have had flights home affected by the cancellations have hit out at easyJet for putting them up in hotels that are "disgusting" and "dangerous".

Whilst some passengers have been left stranded abroad, others have been left frustrated with easyJet after missing out on their holidays and losing thousands of pounds as a result. One holidaymaker, Mark Buntin, spoke of his annoyance after his flight from Belfast to Turkey got cancelled and he was forced to fork out £350 on a taxi.
