FLIGHTS leaving the UK for Spain on Tuesday faced delays of up to four hours and even cancellations thanks to a last-minute French air-traffic controller strike.
Teens on a class trip to London from Valencia’s Lluís Vives high school were put up in hotels overnight after their EasyJet flight from Gatwick, due to leave at 19.00 on Monday, was grounded.
They finally left in two groups at 06.00 and 09.00 on Tuesday.
