A newly married couple have said their honeymoon has been ruined after their easyJet flights home were repeatedly cancelled.
Chris and Natasha Stewart have been trying to fly home from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport since Friday, April 22, when their original flight was cancelled as they waited for it in the airport.
They were due to get another flight home on Sunday at 5.35pm after staying in a hotel on the outskirts of the city, however after arriving at the airport this flight was also cancelled.

The couple received a message from easyJet saying that this was due to air traffic control restrictions and that the disruption was outside of their control.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Chris said: "After our flight was cancelled on Friday we have been staying in a hotel waiting until we are able to go home. We have just finished our honeymoon and cannot afford to be delayed coming home this long.
"After arriving at the airport for our flight home on Sunday we were told by easyJet that this flight had now been cancelled. We are now just waiting to hear if we will have a hotel available soon so we can get out of this airport.
"Since we left Belfast we have spent around 14 hours in an airport.
"We just don't feel like we are going to get home and the whole ordeal has completely destroyed our trip, it has been terrible."
A spokeswoman for the airline said: "easyJet can confirm that flights EJU6776/6775 from Amsterdam to Belfast and from Belfast to Amsterdam today, 24 April, were cancelled due to air traffic control restrictions at Amsterdam airport.
"We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused, particularly for those passengers already affected by an earlier cancellation of their flight to Belfast, and our customer service team will be in touch with them to discuss their options.
"We are doing all possible to minimise the impact of the disruption for our customers, providing hotel accommodation and meals where required and customers are able to transfer to an alternative flight free of charge, or receive a voucher or a refund. Customers can also contact us to discuss other rerouting options, in line with EU261, and we always aim to reroute customers within 24 hours."
