Edinburgh Ryanair passengers 'stranded' in Budapest after flight home rescheduled

Three Edinburgh Airport flyers says they have been left stranded in Budapest for seven days after travelling out for what was meant to be a weekend city break. The men have all had to fork out on extra provisions as well as a new hotel after Ryanair rescheduled the return flight with just hours notice.

Paul, Andy and Leo all flew out to the Hungarian capital with Ryanair on Thursday, July 7, and were due to fly back to Edinburgh on Sunday, July 10. Unfortunately, after seven days, with two more to come until their supposed return flight, the trio said it had turned into a "survival mission," not a holiday.

Contacted by Edinburgh Live, Ryanair confirmed the pals are entitled to compensation for a disrupted flight as well as hotel and expenses incurred. Bosses also said the group could have rebooked on any of the three flights from Budapest to Edinburgh since their original flight was rescheduled.
