Easyjet 'sorry' as Edinburgh passengers 'sleep in airport' as flight cancelled

easyJet has apologised to Edinburgh passengers after their flight was repeatedly delayed and then rescheduled - leaving some saying they had to fork out hundreds in additional expenses.

Mr and Mrs McGill, both 57, had been enjoying a relaxing week-long trip to the gorgeous Spanish island of Tenerife and were ready to make their way home on Monday. However, their fight was delayed multiple times before eventually being rescheduled to the following day.

This left scores of passengers with their plans in complete chaos as they needed somewhere to sleep ahead of the new flight day. The couple said they had to stay in a hotel, taxis to which cost more than £100 each way, with the airline saying they advised customers that they will be reimbursed if they booked their own transfers.
