Jason Harris was supposed to be landing at Luton Airport last night from Egypt.
Three hours into his flight he said passengers were informed by the pilot that the fire in Luton meant they would be diverted to Bristol Airport.
He then got a taxi from Bristol to Luton, provided by airline EasyJet. Following that, he had to get a second taxi to his home in Stevenage.
"Nightmare all round," Jason said. "I know there's been a fire at the airport but you'd think they'd have a back road for a way out, but it can't be done."
