A Twitter user has shared a nightmare travel situation with Ryanair as passenger taking a flight from Dublin Airport to London have gotten on the plane twice and still haven't made headway to their destination.

Ryanair customers on the flight FR126 had 1 inflight return and 1 gate return on the night they were due to take off.

The Tweet that has caused a stir on social media and the Tweet details the situation that the passengers had to endure:

"FR126 is Delayed AGAIN this morning following 1 inflight return and 1 gate return last night.

Here is a current rundown of what's happened:

- Flight delayed 3 hours, before any flight took off.
-When flight takes off, it returns to Dublin with a technical issue.
- Aircraft arrives and passengers are let into terminal while another aircraft is sorted.
- Second aircraft is sorted after another delay.
- Second aircraft pushes back at 01:00 and begins taxiing.
- Second aircraft returns to stand due to another technical issue.
- Flight rescheduled to 11:40 today
- 11:40 flight now delayed until 12:54

That’s currently a 17+ hour delay!!!

A night to be forgotten by Ryanair."

At least (according to the Tweet) any passengers that were on the flight are entitled to €250 compensation for the event!

Social media comments under the post with one user writing:

"Standing at the queue between 2am and 5am with only one person working on the desk."

Another writes: "Still no movement from plane. On runway with no updates . Awful !l now an 18 hour delay."
