The Brit family still left stranded in Romania are facing a horror dilemma as they attempt to get themselves and their loved ones back home.
Steven Fludder and at least six other passengers have been stranded in the Romanian capital of Bucharest and have since revealed they may need to leave a 72-year-old pensioner behind to get back home.
In a video update from frustrated Fludder, 39, the group of trapped passengers were hopeful of flying home today but it would appear another problem has prevented them from doing so.

Explaining the situation to Star, Fludder said: “They [WizzAir] have sent us to the airport for this flight, and the update of WizzAir is that the flight has not actually left Valencia yet.
“However, what they said, was that five of us can get on this flight. They checked me, Colin, Emma, Joe and Derek onto the flight that leaves Bucharest today.
“72-year-old Harry, they told him it [the flight] was full. Now we’ve gone to the desk and they’ve gone ‘no the flight’s not full, we can change Harry over to this flight, no problem.’
“So Harry’s come all the way to the airport and they want £500 off him.”

Fludder was clearly furious at the request for half a grand to get the pensioner on the flight, adding that there had been “no mention of money” from the travel company.
Fludder, a wrestling company owner, continued: “They’re actually going to leave this man on his own for two days in Bucharest, stranded. This is WizzAir for you.”
The 39-year-old also offered “good money” to the person that slapped WizzAir management for their “absolutely disgusting” treatment of the stranded group.
WizzAir have been contacted for comment.
