England fan misses Germany game after flight from Manchester Airport is cancelled two hours before take-off

A football missed out on watching England v Germany after his flight to Munich from Manchester Airport was cancelled just two hours before it was due to take off.

Matthew Jones was set to fly to Germany with easyJet for the UEFA Nations League clash on Tuesday afternoon (June 2). He checked-in online 48 hours before and had no indication that the flight would be delayed or cancelled, LancsLive reports. He got through to the departure lounge, before then finding out it had been cancelled.

He said easyJet offered 'no explanation' when he asked them why. Matthew said: "I checked-in before I got there and so I went through security and everything was fine. I was sat in the departure lounge and I got up to use the loo. That's when I saw on the board that my flight had been cancelled.
