An airline mix-up left a pregnant woman "crying all day" as she was stranded in another country with her family.
Tia Watson had flown out to Fuerteventura on February 14, with Ryanair and they were due to return on Friday, February 18, in the wake of Storm Eunice.
However, due to it being deemed unsafe, the landing was aborted near Manchester Airport and so passengers were diverted to Bordeaux in the south of France.

The 24-year-old, who is 23 weeks pregnant, said she and her partner Martin Beard, along with their four-year-old daughter were put into a hotel overnight, NottinghamshireLive reports.
She said: "We received a text on Friday night to say 'we apologise for your overnight delay, your new flight time will be 7.40pm on Saturday evening local time'.
"So obviously we went to sleep, had breakfast and said 'we're not going to set an alarm or anything' as we thought the flight was half-seven at night."
However, when they arrived at the hotel's restaurant for breakfast, the 24-year-old said there was no-one from their flight there.
She said: "We thought this was really weird because the flight we were on was full and there were hundreds of people in our hotel.
"Reception told us that they all got picked up on free coaches this morning.
"We assumed that everyone had been told the correct flight and we're the only ones that had received the error."
Ms Watson said they were told their flight was still at 7.40pm and to get to the airport as normal.
But, when they got to the airport, there was no such flight on the departures list, and a Ryanair delegate told them that the only flight to England that day left at 10am and they had missed it.
Ms Watson said they had been "on the phone for hours all day" which was "very, very stressful".
She added: "Then they said there's a flight today [Sunday, February 20] so they want us to lug all of our stuff to the airport again, three hours before the flight, go through check-in and everything, on the off-chance that three people don't show up.
"That's stressful in itself."
Eventually, the family were booked to fly home on February 23, which meant they were stranded in France for a few more days with only summer clothes packed.
But luckily, they managed to get back home to England late on February 20.
Ms Watson said: "My partner is a reception teacher in Arnold and he's had to contact the headteacher and let him know. It's a nightmare.
"We've got absolutely nothing now.
"We were in Fuerteventura so we obviously only packed summer clothes so now we're in 8C weather in dresses and sandals with no money, no clothes.
"If I don't laugh, I will cry. Yesterday I was just crying all day."
