A mum has lost out on a £1.5k holiday to Tenerife following a two-day TUI delay nightmare at Manchester Airport. Kelly Clarke and her nine-year-old son Toby were set to fly to Costa Adeje at around 5.50pm on May 30. Despite arriving early, the pair were met with “carnage” inside the terminal, with long queues for restaurants and nowhere to sit down.
The family eventually boarded their flight three hours after its original departure time. They were then held in “boiling hot” conditions onboard for another three hours – with one little boy even vomiting from stress, Kelly claims.

“We got through passport control and baggage and waited at the baggage area for an hour-and-a-half. There was a woman there trying to deal with us all and said there would be a flight tomorrow.
“The next day we got to the airport at 1pm and went through the whole thing again with delays, no one knew what was going on. We were at the gate for two-and-a-half hours and we could see the baggage
