A mum has told of an "awful" experience that saw her autistic four-year-old son sleep on the floor at Manchester Airport after the family's flight to Turkey was cancelled. Lauren Kennedy and her partner Shaun were due to fly to Antalya on Monday for a five-star break, the Manchester Evening News reported.
But the disappointed family were forced to go home when their easyJet flight was cancelled after "hours" of delays. EasyJet has apologised, saying the cancellation was due to "air traffic control restrictions earlier in the day leading to the crew reaching their maximum operating hours".
The family, from Bolton, arrived in plenty of time for their 4.15pm flight, and had help through security due to their son's condition - but then heard news of delays. The boarding gate finally opened, and they made their way across hoping to board the plane.
