Holidaymakers sent to wrong airport then their baggage to another after being warned plane might run out of fuel

A group of Welsh holidaymakers suffered a nightmare return when their easyJet flight was diverted to another airport because they were told it might run out of fuel while waiting for a slot to land at Gatwick. The flight from the Greek island of Santorini on Sunday was diverted to Luton Airport instead.

But when the group got off the plane at Luton, passengers, including families without buggies or child car seats, were told their bags would be carried on to Gatwick for them.

Despite being told there would be coaches to take them there, they actually had to find their own way to Gatwick. And when they got there, their ordeal continued. They received a text from the airline saying they would not be able to pick up their bags at Gatwick after all and they would be sent to their home address instead.
