Family seek more compensation over holiday nightmare

Posted by Emily Jones

A family who claim they went through a nightmare while on holiday are seeking more compensation.

Sarah and Chris Kemp booked a vacation to the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheikh - which is a popular tourist area and is located between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai - the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph reports.

When they stepped off the plane, their daughter Ellie was surrounded by armed guards.

The parents were told that invisible monitors had detected that the youngster had a high temperature and may have swine flu.

Her passport was subsequently removed from her and she was transported to a makeshift hospital.

So far, the family has been offered £500 in compensation from First Choice, but they say this is not enough as the break cost them £1,650.

Mr Kemp stated: "It's unbelievable. I would have thought they would want an end to it. The amount was a slap in the face in the first place."
