Two teachers and their children have been left stranded abroad after their flight home from holiday was cancelled, and the train they booked in a bid to get home was also scrapped. Naomi Thomas, 33, and Danny Massey, 39, had been on their first holiday in five years and were due to fly home from Faro, Portugal, with their children.
But easyJet scrapped their flight and they were left stranded at the Faro airport - even though the plane flew back to the UK 30 minutes later under a different flight number. The holidaymakers were told there would not be another flight home for days so they hastily booked a flight to Paris and train tickets on Eurostar - but when they got to France the train was also cancelled.
"I am a teacher, my partner works in a secondary school, and my stepdaughter was due to leave our home for a school trip to Normandy, France at 1am on Monday," Naomi told The Mirror.
