More than a dozen easyJet passengers were asked to forfeit their flight by the pilot as the aircraft was 'too heavy' before take off.
The announcement came over the tannoy just as passengers had taken their seats on a flight from Lanzarote to Liverpool on Wednesday, July 5.
Due to the plane being too heavy and adverse weather, 19 people were asked to volunteer to abandon the flight and accept a slightly later journey, with an incentive being offered in return.
