A UK tourist has been left stranded in Dubai and claims Emirates left her deserted with just “one cup of water”. Shannon Maguire, 25, said the airport was “like the purge” as airlines “ran out” of accommodation for stranded tourists during her trip abroad.
Shannon was just one of thousands of passengers stranded in Dubai following the flooding chaos. The 25-year-old has shared a viral TikTok in the wake of her trip to the United Arab Emirates, saying: “They checked us in for our flight even though it was cancelled. They didn’t tell us. And they rebooked our flight for in eight days.
“They won’t give us a hotel, won’t answer the phone, closed their live chat. Not a single person at the airport. No water, no food. Honestly, it’s like the purge at Dubai airport. We’ve just booked our own 19-hour connecting flight through Moldova. We went to go and get our luggage and they lost it even though the flight never left.”
