Mum slams 'inhumane conditions' at airport after being left stranded with son, 5, for 22 HOURS

A mum has claimed she was left stranded at Gatwick Airport with her son, five, for 22 hours after being booted off a plane because it was too full and left to fend for herself.

Charlie Day, 33, from Chelmsford, Essex, was marched through security three times due to the repeated cancellations, claiming at one point passengers were stuck in a waiting room without food, water or toilet access due to the airport chaos.

She had arrived on Friday morning with her husband Lewis and young son Ernie ahead of their 2:30pm flight to Barcelona.
