Haybo you have my deepest sympathy.  I had a 9hr delay some years back & got moved to Dalaman Hilton to wait it out just over the evening.  Flew at 1am instead of 4pm but we didn't even get to check our bags in just the hauling them about. 

Well assuming you were flight only booking (not sure how it applies on package deals) there is a small silver lining to that very big black cloud.  You can get 400 Euros each as compulsory compensation for the delay.  In fact the airline company is supposed to make you aware of these rights, I didn't get the impression from your tale that they did ?  Look at Martin Lewis website & apply yourselves whilst still have all the details fresh in your minds & any documentation 'proof'.  No need for lawyers to take a huge chunk  ;D

A bit of an over reaction to have passports confiscated for the cross Dads !  The problems I think are caused by appalling levels of communication to you, the paying customer.

Did you ever work out how you lost your wallet & phone as I thought you never even got out of the car on way home.  ???

Hope you all recover from poorliness & exhaustion quickly.

I've emailed you the KTLN guide to claiming compensation! You deserve it as they journey was horrendous. In those situations it's the lack of updated information that gets people really cross.

Haybo, that sounds a most horrendous end to your holiday, especially feeling unwell.    You must have been so glad to be safely home and in your own beds.   I think I might avoid that airline - on the other hand when you look at some of the reviews of the different airlines it is surprising any of us fly at all.   On the other hand when "that view" comes into sight on arrival at Kalkan........

Hope you are all feeling better soon.   I hadn't heard of cellulitis but looked it up - just as well you recognised the symptoms.

Oh Haybo I really sympathise with you. It must have been awful for all concerned. Now that you are home safe I hope you can soon forget about the horrendous ending and concentrate on all those happy memories that you made during your holiday.

Thanks for sharing your holiday.

Hi Haybo,

I wouldn't dismiss using one of the claims handling companies as you will need to be very determined to get your compensation out of Jet2. Like many airlines they have a track record of denying claims on all sorts of spurious grounds and dragging out the process for years.

I had similar problems trying to extract compensation from EasyJet for a cancellation that occurred 4 years ago, after several months of getting nowhere I handed over the claim to EUclaim. They progressed the claim for us and after almost 3 years of legal argument/court proceedings EasyJet finally paid up.

EUclaim took 30% of our compensation but this seemed a fair charge for the work they did (I imagine that if I had pressed on by myself I would eventually have given up and got nothing).

Oh dear Lord, what an awful end to your holiday...shocking! Then busing you all the way to Fethiye - what was that all about? Dalaman is awash with hotels. Awful, awful, truly awful. Thank goodness you are all home, safe and sound -albeit after a nightmare delay. Hopefully it wont have spoiled your holiday - you seemed to have had rotten luck at varies points throughout your stay too.
Hope the cellulitis is improving - that's not pleasant :(
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

We experienced an 8 hour delay two years ago and I can fully empathise with how it feels. We weren't given any information at Dalaman and had to contact our son in England to find out what was happening. Dalaman is not the best place to be hanging around in.
