"It's totally put us off ever going abroad again": Panic as 'more than 100 people' STRANDED at Prague airport after Ryanair flight to Manchester leaves without them

Passengers trying to fly to Manchester Airport have been forced to fork out hundreds of Euros after being left stranded in Prague. Those desperate to fly back to the UK told the Manchester Evening News as many as 120 people were stuck in the Czech capital after their Ryanair flight left without them.

The company denies '120 people were still to board the plane', but admits a number of passengers were delayed by airport security and missed the flight. Some were able to book a last minute seat on an easyJet flight home later the same evening, while others were forced to travel elsewhere or stay in Prague.

The 'chaos' unravelled after passengers hoping to board the 5.30pm flight last Friday (June 24) tried to get through security at Prague's Václav Havel Airport. Instead of security following check-in like at most airports, passengers told the M.E.N. they had to wait for their gate number to be confirmed first.
