TUI 'sorry' as Edinburgh passengers have to sleep in airport Starbucks

A group of Edinburgh TUI passengers, including an 80-year-old breast cancer survivor, were 'forced to sleep on chairs in Starbucks' after their flight was aborted.

Emma Littlewood, along with her daughter Jessie, 11, sister Christine, 63, husband Mark, 53, and auntie Ivy, 80, were travelling from Edinburgh to Corfu for some special family time after a tough couple of months with family in hospital.

The family got through check-in with no problems and were seated on the plane ready to take off when a reportedly intoxicated passenger lost their passport which caused an initial delay.
