A COUPLE facing a 12-day wait for a flight home from storm-struck Dubai have made it back to Manchester - after taking three flights and seven taxis over three days.
Alison Shah, 60, and her partner, Richard Kay, 52, were coming home from her birthday trip to Bangkok and Thailand when they got stuck in Dubai last Tuesday (April 16).
With their flight home to Manchester rescheduled for next Sunday (April 28) - and the airport in chaos - they decided to take matters into their own hands. They managed to get a five-hour flight from Dubai to Istanbul, where they were able to hop on a shorter flight to Dalaman and then another five-hour flight home.
