A family of three who waited 48 hours for a delayed flight found themselves removed from the plane which they were finally able to board. Daniel Riley, 43, his wife Diane, 41, and daughter Eva, 11, were booked to fly to Crete on Sunday (May 29) morning.
The trio took up the airline's advice to drop off their luggage the night before to help with congestion. They travelled from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and waited for three hours in "chaos" at Manchester Airport before checking in their bags at around 8pm on Saturday, reports MirrorOnline.
They then opted to book into an on-site hotel, ready for the following day. The Rileys quickly moved through to departures at 4am, but were then hit with delays and cancellations which would eventually see them not go on holiday at all.
