A family have described feeling 'trapped' and 'scared' after their flights were cancelled at the last minute, stranding them in Turkey, leading to costs of nearly £2,500 for new flights and hotels. It comes amid more chaos at Manchester Airport as mountains of abandoned bags are left after arrivals.
Michael Tierney and his family, including nine-month-old Ralphie, flew to Antalya, Turkey, 14-days ago and were due to fly back late on Tuesday (May 31) night. However, they say they arrived to find their EasyJet flight had been cancelled, leading to chaotic scenes for the many families present with no way of getting back home.
Ralphie cried so much he fainted and many others were left with no option other than to stay at the airport for the night, hoping for another flight to come up. Reports over recent days have suggested it's not just UK airports where travellers are facing troubles, with flight cancellations and passport checks causing chaos at airports.
