It’s another week of “mayhem” at airports across the UK as passengers waited in four hour queues at one travel hub trailing 182 metres past the airport and flights were delayed.
Flights heading out between 6am and 11am were delayed departing up to two hours late from Leeds Bradford Airport. Queues were seen snaking back to the airport entrance way and through the car park between 4am and 8am as passengers stood with their arms folded in a sea of trollies and luggage.
What’s more, the queues trailed through the check-in desk to security. Airport taxi services told Leeds Live customers were “not happy” when they were dropped off at the airport, and felt like they were “at Alton Towers queuing for the Smiler ride”.
