Schoolgirl's dream Lapland trip turns into nightmare as families left 'stranded' in Edinburgh after 300-mile diversion

A fuming mum has told of how her daughter's dream trip to meet Santa in Lapland turned into a nightmare after families were left stranded in Edinburgh. A day filled with festive fun was soon ruined when passengers on a flight to Humberside Airport, Lincolnshire, were diverted over 300 miles to the Scottish capital.

After leaving at 7am on Sunday, December 11, passengers expected to land back at Humberside at 9.40pm, but faced a last minute diversion due to heavy fog. "Hundreds" were then forced to wait on a bus that never turned up.

The worried mum said her daughter, eight, was poorly but decided to go on dream trip with another family member, as they expected it to only last the day, Grimsby Live reports.
