An OAP couple were left bemused after their flight took off without them, despite arriving at the dedicated gate in plenty time.
Margaret and John Harrop arrived at Newcastle Airport for their flight to Alicante on September 28, although they weren't onboard when it took off. The retired couple were due to jet off to visit their son for the first time since he moved overseas.
However, their plans were thrown into despair as they, and seven others, watched on as their flight took off, despite being within a special assistance vehicle just "yards away," reports Chronicles Live. The pair also said they witnessed their cases being removed form the flight before it took off.
