EasyJet passengers suffer 11-hour flight 'chaos' only to land back in UK

EasyJet passengers were forced to endure an 11-hour flight after their plane travelled to their destination of Madeira, circled several times and returned to Bristol after windspeeds deemed it too unsafe to land.

Passengers hoping to spend some time in the sun were forced to deal with a nightmare trip as they endured 11-hours of travel that got them nowhere. The flight reportedly circled the Portuguese archipelago twice before stopping for fuel at another airport.

No one was allowed off the flight at this time and resulted in them being flown straight back to Bristol as windspeeds deemed it too unsafe to land.
