FURIOUS passengers say they have been left traumatised after a last-minute flight cancellation left them stranded in Spain with no food, accommodation, or return flight - and claim they were given no help by Easyjet.

Travellers on the EZY2016 flight from Alicante to Manchester were made to turn around and go back through border control on Thursday evening after Easyjet staff told them their flight couldn't run due to 'disruptive passengers' on the incoming flight, which saw police meet the aircraft at the airport.

They said they were promised assistance with food and accommodation, and 'guaranteed' a flight back to Manchester the next day. But many remained stranded in Spain, while others say they were forced to sleep in the airport or drive hours through the night to get on alternative flights, paying entirely out their own pockets.
