2:39Now PlayingA cancer patient taking her family to Disneyland is among the thousands of passengers whose travel plans have been ruined.
Ethlyn Buckmire spent £3,500 on her son Dante's dream trip for his 10th birthday, but only made it as far as the Channel Tunnel, she told Sky News correspondent Oliver Whitfield-Miocic.
