Edinburgh easyJet 'sorry' as stranded passengers told to stay in 'disgusting' hotel

EasyJet has apologised after three Edinburgh passengers endured a "nightmare" journey back to the capital when their flight was cancelled last minute due to damage caused to a plane during a lightning strike.

Lennon Docherty, 20, his gran Elaine, 61, and partner James Russell, 21, went on a mini-break to Poland and were due to fly back to the capital on Friday, April 14.

After repeated delays, the family were told their return flight had been cancelled. Lennon told how he and James were booked on a flight back the next day to Manchester by easyJet - leaving his gran stranded alone in Krakow.
