Passengers on an Easjet flight from Montenegro to Gatwick were greatly relieved as the place touched down at 3:58am, two minutes before the deadline. Flight EZY8522 was even more eventful as easyjet brought forward the flight by a day to beat the deadline. However a technical fault meant passengers had to be transferred by bus to Dubrovnic Passengers tweetede their despair on social media as the three busses were held up at the Croatian border for an hour. By the time the plane set off it was scheduled to only arrive ay 4:30am after the deadline, but managed to beat the deadline after all.

Passenger on flight EYZ8522 Joanna Lonergan tweeted:

Pilot was also amazing. Have never been in a plane going so fast. Take off was brutal - people being sick and the engines really going. He tannoyed just before landing to say ‘This thing doesn’t fly any faster’.
