"We're just fed up and want to go home."
TUI blamed "operational issues" and "the sudden increase in people going on holidays" for the issue of each flight getting cancelled.
TUI has since apologised for the problem, saying in a statement that "all impacted customers were offered welfare vouchers, overnight accommodation and were provided with meals while we worked through a new flight plan."
They also noted that they were in contact with customers and are working tirelessly to support those affected.
This isn't the first incident like this as heading from Manchester on Friday to Turkey for his sister in law's wedding, Rob Gore told the BBC that he and his family, along with other passengers, found out the flight was cancelled as they were sitting on it.
"It was just an absolute farce from TUI, no reps available until right at the very end," he said.
Having to stay in a hotel in Manchester for two nights as they wait to fly out on Monday, the incident left them "heartbroken" as this was the family's first trip in three years and first since Rob had undergone cancer treatment.
TUI has apologised for those impacted by the cancellation and has offered compensation, but it is not the only incident like this.Explore more on these topics:
