Hen party left stranded in airport left to sleep on the floor after 'horrendous' 17-hour flight delay sees them miss work

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.
