Mr Barlow, from Reddish in Stockport, was hoping to return home after 11 nights on the Greek island with his wife and friends. As of 10pm on Saturday, they are still in Rhodes, however. "Security and check-in was a breeze," he explained.

Mr Barlow said he was told the rearranged flight would depart at 1pm today (Saturday). After checking in for a second time, he and the other passengers boarded the plane before being informed that there was a "technical issue" with the plane.

Mr Barlow also hit out at Ryanair over what he claimed was 'terrible communication' amid the frustrating delays. "We have just heard nothing," he said.
