A family may have to cancel their dream holiday for a second time after their flight was cancelled when they were minutes from boarding. Childminder Larain Sutton, 41, and her husband Colin, 53, had been planning a trip to Hurghada in Egypt with their children Ava, 14, Owen, 12 and six-year-old Imogen.
A trip planned for Easter had to be postponed because the children’s passports were not renewed in time. They were only told their EasyJet flight was being cancelled by a passenger rather than crew.
Larain, from Hampshire said: ‘’Our flight was cancelled when we were in the tunnel about to board. A passenger said ‘the flight has been cancelled’. We went back through the gate. The captain said it was because the limit for flight hours had been reached. Surely they knew how many hours were left, they had already been there and back?
