A family has told how they were selected to be removed from a flight to Greece from Manchester Airport as the plane was too small following a 48-hour delay.
The Riley family, Daniel, 43, his wife, Diane, 41, and their daughter Eva, 11, finally got out of the airport at 5pm on Monday - a full two days after first arriving. They spoke out as the Manchester Evening News reports early hours queues at the airport AGAIN as the bank holiday weekend begins.
The Rileys were booked to fly to Crete on Sunday morning and took up airline TUI's advice to drop off their luggage the night before to help with congestion. Having travelled up from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, they waited for three hours in 'chaos' at Manchester Airport before finally checking in their bags at around 8pm on Saturday.
