    If you're still at the airport, have you done the rounds of the different airlines to see if they fly to Marrakech and when?

    Have you managed to get in touch with Easyet yet?

    If you do manage to fly out with another airline I would also check that your return flight is still available and that your accommodation is too.

    You may have been put down as a 'no-show' and the hotel could have resold your room.

    Have you contacted your travel insurance to say that your husband was too ill to fly resulting in losing your flight? Insurers have lots of contacts and can do much more than pay compensation.

    Since your husband has flown to other places without incident, is he secretly afraid of a terrorist attack in Morocco? If so, counselling should help him with that

    I'm not looking for compensation just an admission that they were feeding us inaccurate info.
    Except that this was most likely not the case. Tell them that they did something wrong when ultimately, it was your OH's health that caused the problem is unlikely to get you anywhere. Appealing to their goodwill is much more likely to help.

    I too don't understand why you couldn't try to get there in another way. There are many flights to Marrakesh even if it means transiting and at this time of the year, I doubt all flights are full.

    Go home and enjoy a week together. Running about and getting stressed isn't what you want at the start of your marriage.
    I would write to the airline to voice your disappointment and explain it was your honeymoon etc. They might help with a goodwill gesture. Do you have travel insurance ? Could you make a claim?
