Many travellers are taking drastic action to get home after being stranded due to flight cancellations.
Harshal Shah is stuck in Crete after his flight to take his family and two other families home was cancelled on Monday.
He said the next available EasyJet flight was not until Thursday, so he decided to make alternative plans.Harshal told the BBC he had to pay out £6,000 in total for the new flights, accommodation and food for two further nights and said he had received "no response at all" from EasyJet. The group are due to arrive at Luton Airport in the early hours of Thursday, and are now having to plan how to get back to Hull.Airlines have been being blamed for taking more bookings than they can manage following staff cuts during the height of the pandemic when travel ground to a halt.The sector has also called for immigration rules on hiring overseas workers to be relaxed to plug staff shortages, but Transport Secretary Grant Shapps ruled out such a move.
