FRUSTRATED passengers stranded in Manchester for up to three days finally arrived home yesterday.
The Aurigny flight touched down at about 3pm.
Some felt more could have been done to help them and get flights moving.
Rebecca Hart and children Kirsty, 10, and Evie, 6, were returning from a Christmas trip to visit family in Edinburgh.
‘My husband who stayed here [Guernsey] found us a hotel on the internet, which was meant to be six miles away but it turned out to be 12,’ said Mrs Hart.
‘It ended up costing us £100 in taxi fares. She said Aurigny had paid the bill for the last night’s stay.
‘Last night [Thursday] they told us we were going and we were taken down to the departure gate, only to be told that Guernsey Airport had now closed.
‘It was very frustrating as we were hearing that our flights had been cancelled from people in Guernsey.’
