Megan described the experience as traumatic, expressing a loss of enthusiasm for future travel, especially when traveling alone with her children. Jet2 has acknowledged the incident and is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the denied boarding and extended delay. The family’s disrupted holiday experience highlights frustrations with flight delays and airline communication during busy travel periods.
