A fuming Scots mum has claimed her family were forced to stand in the freezing cold for hours due to delays at Edinburgh Airport. Gail Chalmers, from Edinburgh, alleged that hundreds of passengers travelling from Tenerife had to wait on the airport tarmac after returning home from a half-term holiday on Sunday.
The 41-year-old said she was forced to stand on the tarmac before getting indoors to go through immigration with her husband and two kids, after the Jet2 flight landed in the early hours. Edinburgh Live reports they were then subjected to a wait of over an hour to get through passport control, having to navigate sick in the lobby and other irate travellers.
Gail says that there was little information or support for young families and that the whole ordeal put an immense dampener on their holiday. They arrived around 3am but were not able to get through border checks until after 5am. She added that there was no priority for those with babies and young children.
