A family has missed their holiday and lost £1,500 after being unable to get to their plane because of chaos at the airport. Airports across the UK have seen massive queues for days as people try to take Easter holidays staff are unable to cope.
Michelle Donohue, 32, planned a four day trip to Rome with husband Robert and their 12-year-old son. The holiday would have been the family's first trip abroad since the Covid-19 pandemic began but after huge queues saw them miss the flight, Michelle and her family were forced to go back home instead.
The family were due to fly out from Manchester Airport on Tuesday via the 7.15am Ryanair service. They planned to get to the airport just over four hours earlier after leaving home at 3am. But upon arrival, they were instantly greeted with the "nightmare" view of endless queues.
