Overview
- Jet2 flight LS182, scheduled to depart Lanzarote for Manchester at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, was canceled after the airport cited adverse weather.
- Passengers say the full flight boarded and then remained on the aircraft for about four hours before being sent back to the terminal shortly before midnight.
- With the airport closing overnight and hotel rooms reportedly scarce, many travelers slept on floors, chairs, or luggage in the terminal.
- Passengers reported receiving €20 food vouchers and complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits, with many eventually flying home around noon Sunday after roughly a 16-hour delay.
- A spokesperson for César Manrique–Lanzarote Airport said airlines are responsible for passenger assistance, and UK outlets reported they had sought comment from Jet2.
