A hen party including a number of teachers said they had a "horrendous" experience when their easyJet flight home from Portugal was delayed by more than 17 hours. Ffion Williams described how the party underwent a series of delays after they were due to fly to Bristol airport from Faro on Sunday, June 5 at 10.10pm.
However, the 32-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil said the party did not make it on a flight until 2.30pm the next day on Monday, June 6. It meant many of the hens, who work as teachers, were unable to make it back to work on Monday following the Jubilee bank holiday weekend.
Ffion claimed that for the duration of the delay - including overnight - the party had no choice but to camp on the airport floor. Describing what she claims happened, she said: "We had an update from easyJet to say we had a flight delay by one hour and that our new flight would be at 11.15pm. We got to the airport, checked in, checked our luggage in and got through security and waited for our gate to open. Then the flight was further delayed until 12.45am."
