Hen party left stranded in airport left to sleep on the floor after 'horrendous' 17-hour flight delay sees them miss work
08.06.2022 - 13:33 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A hen party was left stranded in an airport overnight after their flight was delayed by more than 17 hours.
Ffion Williams, 32, said she and the party faced a series of delays after they were due to fly to Bristol airport from Faro in Portugal on Sunday evening (June 5). Ffion, from Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, said their flight had been due to depart at 10.10pm but did not leave until 2.30pm the next day on Monday.
The delays meant that many of the hens, who work as teachers, were unable to make it back to work on Monday following the Jubilee bank holiday weekend. Ffion claimed that for the duration of the delay - including overnight - the party had no choice but to camp on the airport floor.

"We had an update from easyJet to say we had a flight delay by one hour and that our new flight would be at 11.15pm,” she told Wales Online. “We got to the airport, checked in, checked our luggage in and got through security and waited for our gate to open. Then the flight was further delayed until 12.45am."
However, it was then announced that the flight was overbooked and not everyone would be able to get on, Ffion said. "When the gate opened ready for us to get on to the flight, there was an announcement made over the tannoy saying they had overfilled our flight, asking if there was anyone who could stay in Faro and not get on the flight because there were eight people too many to get on the flight. Obviously everyone ran to get into a queue because nobody wanted to stay in the airport. The flight was overbooked by eight people."
The situation took a second turn for the worst when the passengers heard their next announcement, Ffion
