Holidaymakers were stuck on a plane at a Spanish airport for almost two hours, waiting for buses to take them to the arrival lounge.
The Ryanair flight left Newcastle in brilliant sunshine, touching down in Malaga in a storm.
“People were standing in the aisle with their bags as soon as the plane touched down, but they had a hell of a long wait,” said Margaret Ramsay.
“The crew kept announcing that the bus would be here in about 10 minutes – it was almost two hours before one came.
“By this time, some of the passengers were really angry. Children were playing up and babies were crying,” she said.
Margaret, 74, added: “We couldn’t believe it was lashing down here – we left plenty of sunshine back home.”
The buses problem meant that other planes were stacking up – creating more delays.
When passengers eventually left the rain-hit airport some of the roads outside the building were flooded.
