Scots EasyJet passengers sleep on airport floor in Bulgaria after ‘eggy smell' forces flight to make emergency landing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS passengers were forced to sleep on an airport floor after an 'eggy smell' forced the emergency landing of their plane. The flight from Dalaman in Turkey to Edinburgh took off on Tuesday night and was expected in Scotland at 12.45am on Wednesday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Easyjet flight was forced to land due to an 'eggy smell' 2 The holimakers were in Dalaman, Turkey But two hours into the journey, the plane made a U-turn over Serbia and landed in Sofia, Bulgaria due to the foul stench. The crew had already flown their hours for the day so another aircraft had to be sent from London Gatwick to pick up the weary Scots families returning from their sunshine breaks. Some chose to sleep on the sirport floor after hotels took hours to secure - and families were told they would have to pay for the transit costs themselves. At around 5.30am, Scott Duncan and his wife, Emily Powell, were told accommodation had been found for them; however, they'd have to pay for transport to the premises. They told STV News: 'Check out times were between 10am to 11am, along with paying for transport there and back, and needing to be at the airport for 3pm to pass security for a 5pm flight, we decided it was better to stay in the airport overnight. 'After sleeping on the floor for an hour after being refused seating from the Costa staff, eventually they opened the seating at 7am and allowed us chairs to sleep on. 'We have had nowhere to store our luggage and still no word on food or water, as well as airport staff reporting that there has been no word from an EasyJet representative. 'We have barely slept, are extremely dehydrated and provided very weak air conditioning in over 30-degree weather.' Scott's wife, Emily, added: 'We can clearly understand that it is not the cabin crew or the pilot's fault as they were making sure that we were safe, and this is completely on EasyJet.' Vicky Walker, who noticed a 'foul smell' prior to landing, said passengers were assured that accommodation, water and food would all be handled by the UK airline. Drunk offshore worker causes carnage on Scotland-bound easyJet flight after partner dumps him But the 37-year-old from Forfar, Angus, says she spent the night in the Bulgarian airport. She said: 'We were offered a hotel room, but we had to make our own way there, to then be told we would need to check out of the hotel at 10am. 'My friend and I didn't have the money to pay for it, so we ended up in the airport with others. We haven't been offered any water or food and have had no information given to us at all. 'Just a horrendous experience. Needless to say, I won't be travelling with EasyJet again. 'I'm shattered and it just put a total dampener on my holiday.' The flight, EZY3282 is expected to land in Edinburgh around 7pm today. EasyJet has been contacted for comment.

UK's ‘celebrity train station' is renting out carriages for overnight stays – it's like Orient Express on the cheap
One is found in the village that was used in a classic police drama ALL ABOARD UK's 'celebrity train station' is renting out carriages for overnight stays – it's like Orient Express on the cheap Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR a unique stay, have you ever considered booking a converted train carriage? North Yorkshire Moors Railway has two kitted out carriages and a station house that retain their train heritage charm, but look so glam it'll feel like travelling on the Orient Express. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Goathland Camping Coach is found on the platform that featured in Harry Potter and Heartbeat Credit: Charlotte Graham 6 The converted carriages look like they belong in a luxury hotel Credit: NYMR While these carriages might look like they belong on the Orient Express, the prices are very different. The trip on famous luxury train can set you back thousands, in some cases up to £61,000 - but a stay in one these costs from £495. For TV and film fans, the Goathland Camping Coach the one for you. The camping coach sits just above the Goathland station that doubled as Hogsmeade in the very first Harry Potter film. It was also used a lot in ITV's Heartbeat and for any die-hard fans of the police drama, Goathland village was used for filming between 1992 to 2010. It became the fictional village of Aidensfield and there's even a souvenir shop, Goathland Garage Gifts, that's dedicated to selling Heartbeat merchandise. As for the carriage itself, the Goathland Camping Coach has been fully converted and can sleep up to four people. The compact kitchen features dark tiles and farmhouse green cupboards and is fully kitted out with an oven, grill, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge freezer. There's a cosy sitting area with a squishy sofa and flat-screen TV, plus a bathroom with a shower. There's a dining table too to enjoy meals together and it's right by the window so you can watch trains and passengers going by. I stayed in London's coolest hotel room - with racing simulators, cocktail bar AND you can take the dressing gowns home 6 Inside is surprisingly spacious and up to four people can stay there Credit: NYMR 6 The Grosmont Station House looks nothing like it would have done when it was in use Credit: Little Vikings It has one standard double and one twin bedroom, and all have cosy bedding and pillows. For anyone visiting with their dogs, you can have up to two furry friends stay in the carriage with a surcharge of £50 per stay. The Grosmont Station House is a restored station house with all the modern amenities you need for a train-inspired stay. The pretty property sleeps up to five people in two bedrooms, both have king size beds and the family one has an extra single bed. As well as a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge freezer, there's a bathroom with a bath and shower. It's safe to say it looks worlds away than an original station house it would have been. To get there, you can hope on the train like from Middlesbrough to Whitby. 6 The Levisham Camping Coach has a spacious living area with comfy seating Credit: NYMR The Levisham Camping Coach is perfect for a cosy autumn or winter stay. From the windows, you get incredible views of the countryside and there's even a chance of catching a glimpse of wildlife too and the dark skies are great for stargazing. Inside are three bedrooms that can sleep up to five people. Like the others there's a fully modernised kitchen and bathroom. The living area has a curved sofa bench with soft seat cushions and it takes advantage of the long carriage space. Stays in all three types of accommodation start from £495 for a three night stay - for more information go to For train fans, check out one of Europe's most beautiful Art Deco train stations with private tours and clocks that are always wrong. And here are five abandoned train stations that are now beautiful hotels with bedroom carriages and huge grand lobbies.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 These campsites are some of the best and all cost from £10 per night Credit: Pitchup 7 The Farm Camping is very near the beWIlDerwood play area Credit: BeWILDerwood On the private Worstead Estate in Norfolk is a pop-up summer campsite called The Farm Camping. Until September 1, 2025, campers can pitch up on the estate that is also a working farm and there's lots to do. The estate has an on-site microbrewery called the Wildcraft Taproom. On sunny days, campers can enjoy an alfresco pint on the picnic tables outside. For anyone heading over there with children, the adventure park BeWILDerwood is close by. The park has BeWILDerboats - a boat ride into a 'swamp', as well as the Tricky Tunnels and a Muddles Maze. As for facilities, the campsite has toilets, showers, a washing-up area. There is Wi-Fi and visitors can bring a barbecue for cooking up alfresco meals. Prices for a non-electric grass tent pitch starts at £15 per night. In Derbyshire is the Greystones Nawab campsite - a great base for anyone exploring the sprawling Peak District National Park. It's also perfect for animal lovers as peacocks and rare-breed chickens roam the site, plus there's a donkey sanctuary next door.

The donkeys are a welcome sight in the morning too." Non-electric grass tent pitches start at £10 or opt for an electric grass touring caravan pitch at £15. Further north is Pepper Hall Campsite in Yorkshire which is for anyone who loves the great outdoors. The surrounding fields are full of grazing by Swaledale sheep and cattle. This campsite is a little unique because you can only get there by foot - so no caravans are allowed. To get to the campsite, you have to cross a shallow ford and small stream on the stepping stones. For some hearty meals, head to the local pub in Langthwaite village. Non-electric grass tent pitches here start from £18. 7 One pub run campsite has an alpaca paddock and you can book a walking experience Credit: Pitchup The Crown Inn and Campsite is a family-run north Wales pub site by the river Alwen. It's a bargain stay with non-electric grass/earth tent pitch starting from £12.50. For anyone who doesn't want to opt for a tent, you can stay in caravans, cabins or a bed-in-a-shed from £42.50 per night. And you'll not go hungry with lots of options at the on-site pub - where they serve ribs, sausage and mash, chilli and fish and chips. This pub sits in a pretty village which you can explore, there's easy access to forest trails and fishing on the riverbank is popular too. There's even a private alpaca paddock on site, and campers can book a walking experience with the woolly animals. One visitor said: "Quiet, clean and friendly site. I have stayed a few times now, with my kids and for a break away with my wife. "The kids love playing in the stream and digging holes up in the woods. The pub has great food and drinks selections and is well-priced." 7 The Green Dragon Inn has an option to stay in little shepherd huts Credit: Pitchup The Green Dragon Inn is another pub campsite found in Buttington, Wales. Camp out at a country pub to make the most of a stay on the Welsh borders. The Green Dragon Inn is a short distance from Offa's Dyke, the Shropshire Hills and Snowdonia National Park. The cosy pub serves home-cooked food seven days per week, including a Sunday roast. There are ales on tap and a large pub garden, so drink them in. Campers can choose from mixed hardstanding and grass pitches, and have access to a washing-up area, baby changing facilities and a well-maintained bathroom block. Non-electric grass pitch tent-only pitches start at £15 or choose an electric-optional hardstanding for a tent, motorhome or touring caravan starting from £20. Or for those who want to camp but would rather sleep in a bed, there are two camping pods on site. There isn't much inside, but there is a double bed, sofa and small tea-making station. These cost from £60 per night for two adults. For fans of camping and going abroad, check out this Ibiza 'paradise' with private pool and glamping huts has stays under £95.
