A family boarded three different planes as they looked forward to a holiday in Crete. But after they were caught up in the airport chaos that has swept the country, the fortnight break now been cancelled.
Ian McStein, 43, of Runcorn, and his family, were looking forward to their two weeks in the sun, departing on May 29, but instead ended up enduring chaos at Manchester Airport. Ian, a dad-of-four, said they endured horrendous waits as well, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
The farce eventually ended when the McSteins cancelled their holiday after operator TUI said they couldn't fly because the plane was full. But Ian said he had been shown pictures via a passenger WhatsApp group that showed there was space.
