Talk Norwich City founder Jack Reeve flight chaos nightmare

Jack Reeve, 25, from Talk Norwich City, was due to fly back to England from Split in Croatia, where he was on holiday with his girlfriend, on Monday night (August 28).

However, the flight was cancelled, leaving him with no other option but to embark on a three-day long journey via coach and train.

Mr Reeve, who is from Great Yarmouth, said "everything was against us" after he was unable to book any flights with easyJet and was faced with disrupted train services following a landslide that blocked several tracks across Europe.

He and his girlfriend travelled by coach replacement from Split to Zagreb, across to Villach, Austria, before taking a train from Stuttgart to Paris, where he took the Eurostar to London on Thursday morning, then to Luton to pick up his car back to Norwich.

The couple spent around 63 hours to travel home after leaving Croatia at midnight on Tuesday and arriving in Norwich on Thursday afternoon.

He estimates that the lengthy journey has set him back nearly £2,000 and was left unimpressed by the lack of support from easyJet and his travel provider, Tui.

He explained: "We've heard nothing from them, so we just had to make a decision because even if we wait for these flights that they’ve offered us on Sunday, what happens if they’re then cancelled?

"Then we're waiting even more time. There was hardly any accommodation to stay in, so we said 'let's just get out of there'.

"It was really unsettling…It was the uncertainty that was really difficult."
