It was terrifying.“We were going up and down, up and down and side to side. Everybody was screaming.“The flight was only meant to be an hour, but we were in the air for about two and a half hours.“We didn’t think we were going to land safely and unharmed.

We could have maybe died.“My boyfriend already hates flying, and he was crying because of what was happening."We were lucky with the pilot that we had though as he was very experienced.“My birthday is tomorrow, and with this happening alongside being recently made redundant, I don't think it could get much worse."The couple were forced to book a hotel room with their own money under the impression from EasyJet
