A mum has shared what it is really like to travel through Leeds Bradford Airport with a disabled child following the ongoing issues with queues, staffing, cancellations and delays.
Elizabeth Herriev was looking forward to a trip to Mahon, Spain, with her family but was left feeling "pretty anxious" and worried her disabled daughter would be "left on the plane". The recent set backs at airports have left a number of disabled passengers reporting they have been left "stuck" on aeroplanes due to lack of staff to help assist.
This left the mum-of-two concerned for how her daughter who is "not the best traveller at the best of times", would manage without assistance coming on and off the plane. But with the holiday already booked and paid for, Elizabeth arrived at the Yeadon airport around 3am on Monday, May 30 with her two children and husband Paul around 6.18am to find "massive queues".
