Hundreds of angry and frightened Britons left stranded in Thailand by the volcanic dust cloud today were battling for plane seats out of the country's capital.

Some were also without a meal or roof over their heads because non-European airlines - including Thailand's main air carrier - declined to offer customers hotel accommodation which must be offered by air carriers under EU regulations.

Ed. - People who were there at the time claim this is 'sensationalist' reporting at it's best. Probably worth it if it helps clear the back log and gets these people in a proper bed.
