Mother-of-six Shamila Kauser, from Rochdale, spent £3,500 on a flight home that she is unsure she will be reimbursed for.
A family of six stuck in Turkey due to a UK air traffic control failure has been left £3,500 out of pocket to fly back home.
However, her travel provider, On The Beach, was able to find a flight at 11.55pm on Friday night for all six family members with Jet2 airlines despite them initially flying with easyJet. Ms Kauser and her family originally flew from Manchester Airport to Turkey, but will now return home to Leeds Bradford Airport, which will add more travel time and expenses to get home to Rochdale.“It’s another stress that I’ll have to deal with at 4 o’clock in the morning.”
Mr Ahmed, 46, from Rochdale, travelled with his wife Nazia and his two daughters, Zahra, 12, and Amira, eight, and were due to fly home on Monday, but felt they were left “totally in the dark” after there were no airline representatives to help with their unexpected cancellation.
