A THREE-HOUR flight to a Brit holiday hotspot turned into a nightmare 32-hour saga, with passengers left vomiting with no food.

Condor flight DE1234 was set for a straightforward journey from Zurich to Heraklion in Crete, Greece, but ultimately exceeded a day in duration.

Despite taking off half an hour late, the flight seemed to be on course to reach its destination.

And after two hours, the plane began its initial descent to the holiday hotspot Greek isle.

The trouble initiated when strong winds impeded the aircraft’s landing, resulting in hours of circling until the pilot chose to redirect to Athens for refueling.

The plane landed at the Greek capital at 11:24am – a whopping three hours after it originally departed Zurich.

Around two-and-a-half hours later, the crew made another attempt to get the 137 people onboard to Heraklion – but this wasn’t achieved, again.

During the flight, many passengers were reportedly vomiting due to the terrifyingly powerful winds.

And to add fuel to the fire, flyers were only given a glass of water during the whole flight.

With weather conditions remaining severe, the plane circled around again before getting diverted to Kos to refuel.

On the nearby Greek island, they landed at 3:28pm after a tiring, hour-and-a-half long flight.

And with the aircraft again running low on fuel, another divert was made to Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece.

Here it was finally decided that passengers and flight attendants should spend the night.

The plane touched down at 6:04pm – an unbelievable 11 hours after initially leaving Zurich.

Passengers were reportedly forced to pay for their own hotel rooms but are entitled to reimbursement under European aviation guidelines.

After a nights sleep, the next day at 9am, one last attempt was made to get to Crete – but wind continued to hinder their journey.

Another diversion was made to Athens where it was agreed to give up and fly back to Zurich – 32 hours after their initial departure.

Condor representatives stated: “Due to severe weather conditions and strong winds, takeoffs and landings at Heraklion Airport were limited.”
