Exhausted pensioners suffer 70 hours of TUI delays and two cancelled flights on Greek holiday

A retired couple suffered 70 hours of delays after both their outbound and return flights on their Greek holiday were cancelled.

John Dawson, 72, and his wife Ann, 65, went on holiday to Crete for two weeks. But the couple suffered 70 hours of flight delays and had the added insult of their suitcases being left behind at Manchester Airport on their outbound flight.

The pair were due to originally fly out on September 2 but their 6.35pm TUI flight from Manchester Airport was cancelled. The pair were taken to a hotel in Stockport where they claimed they were given no information. John, a retired insurance agent, said the following day they were told they would be picked up by coach and taken to Gatwick Airport at 1pm.
