MELBOURNE, Feb 1 Asia Pulse - A woman left stranded outside Sydney Airport overnight after the cancellation of her Jetstar flight to Melbourne says she spent the night curled up in a bus shelter.
The passenger, identified only as Stacey, said the airline had a moral responsibility to her and her two friends to look after them.
She was among hundreds of airline passengers who were forced onto the footpath outside Sydney's terminal two when the airport closed its doors at the curfew time of 11pm.
"We were three young females left outside in the rain," Stacey told ABC Radio today.
"There's got to be some sort of moral responsibility to look after us, not just kick us out and tell us to fend for ourselves."
Stacey, along with 30 other passengers, found refuge in the bus shelter until the airport terminal reopened at 4am (AEDT) today.
"We spent the night on a bench in a bus shelter by Sydney Airport," she said.
