8. Stuck at the Airport on Christmas Eve
More than 15,000 travelers were affected on Christmas Eve 2013, when around 100 flights came to a standstill at London’s Gatwick Airport. But that’s not all. With no heat and only one operational toilet in the airport, chaos ensued as people learned they wouldn’t be returning home to spend the holidays with their families. Those who have been stuck in an airport at least once understand how this feels.
“The whole waiting area was like an underdeveloped Third World country”, one of the affected travelers said. “This is London, so we’re supposed to have a hub of global transport. It was so embarrassing and an awful catastrophe”.
