Fuming Edinburgh man misses out on 'rare' holiday as flight hooked hour before take-off

An Edinburgh man has vowed never to fly with Ryanair again after losing out on a five-day holiday to Budapest with his flight being cancelled an hour before its scheduled departure.

James Cruickshank was reportedly left with no options and no way of seeking advice after his flight was cancelled at short notice on Sunday, July 10, from Edinburgh Airport.

The 46-year-old cabbie, from Craiglockhart, said that it was a rare chance for him to take some time off work to get away on a well-earned break - his first in over a year. With trying to balance his day job while studying a chef's degree at college, James was more than looking forward to his city break alongside his friend.
