Edinburgh family's warning after getting stranded abroad after easyJet change

A dad has told how his family were stranded abroad after their flight to Edinburgh was scrapped at the last minute with no warning.

John Mounsey, his eight-year-old little girl, and six other family members were left on a Greek island after easyJet pulled the plug on the flight. Although the airline reimbursed the family for their extraordinary expenses, bosses have yet to do so for the flight itself.

The airline said the cancellation was classified as an "extraordinary circumstance" due to air traffic control restrictions and, as such, outside of its control. So in line with regulations this means no compensation is due.
