As tensions soared, airline staff reportedly told passengers they would need to cancel their own bookings and find new flights or hotels themselves - sending many scrambling in the middle of the night.
'The prices were ridiculous,' said Erianne, who ended up shelling out £952 ($1,285) to get home with another airline.

She added: "They told us that we have to cancel this one on our own, then rebook another ticket from another airline, but the prices were ridiculous.
"After that, the people who couldn't afford another flight were trying to find a hotel to

in.
"But because this happened during the night, that's not the easiest thing to do.
"Some of them slept at the airport with their kids, including this woman.
'I still haven't gotten a refund from my original flight, but I am emailing with them.'

It comes after a
Taj Taylor, 27, is accused of making the alarming comment less than an hour into an Allegiant Air flight from St. Pete-Clearwater Airport in Florida to Roanoke, Virginia, on Sunday.
According to an arrest report from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Taylor, seated in the last row, allegedly told another traveler that his laptop was an explosive — prompting the shocked passenger to snatch it away.
Six people on the Airbus A320, which was carrying 177 passengers and six crew members, reportedly heard the remark.
The pilot turned the plane around, landing back in Florida just 40 minutes after takeoff—well short of the typical two-hour flight to Roanoke.
Law
enforcement met the plane on the tarmac and arrested Taylor on the spot.
A full search of his belongings revealed no explosives.
Taylor, when questioned by authorities, claimed he had experienced a 'lack of clarity,' according to an
FBI
report seen by
USA
Today.
He strongly denied making any bomb threats.
Taylor appeared in court on Monday, facing charges of conveying false information and threats.
If convicted, he could face a fine of up to $25,000 and a prison term of up to five years.
