Matt Wheeler, 37, and his partner Steph Conlon, from Nottingham, flew to Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, for a break on Friday.

"It was cancelled and we had no-one to speak to, no information, no contact from EasyJet to say it was cancelled.After logging on to the airline's app, the couple were able to get meal vouchers and alternative accommodation provided by EasyJet."We've got two kids at home, a one-year-old and a five-year-old," Mr Wheeler said. "We've been trying to arrange childcare but the relatives who have been looking after the children now have to work.
