Two hundred people were stuck at an airport in Spain after an apparent baggage handler gaffe. The passengers boarded the Sunwing flight on Tuesday at 10am from Reus to Cardiff, but they were then told the flight couldn’t take off due to a problem with the plane.
Louise Llewellyn, from Porth, who was in Reus with her son, parents and cousins, said they were then directed to a nearby hotel and told to return the next morning by Tui reps after their seven-day all-inclusive holiday. But after returning to the airport the next day and going through the rigmarole of reboarding the same plane, the exasperated passengers were again told to get off the aircraft.
“There must be at least 200 of us here still waiting,” Louise told WalesOnline on Wednesday evening. She is now finally home after the ordeal. “On Tuesday we kept being delayed every 30 minutes, and then we were told there was a small clip under the plane that wouldn’t close.
