Airport queues - Newcastle Airport says 'no need' to arrive earlier for half term and bank holiday travel

There is no need for passengers to arrive earlier than advised for flights over the Bank Holiday and four-day weekend, Newcastle Airport says.

Manchester and Bristol Airports have both seen lengthy queues this week as half-term travel coincided with flight cancellations. Newcastle has not been badly affected by the recent disruption, although EasyJet flights to Bristol were cancelled.

Staff shortages have been blamed for the delays at airports. Newcastle Airport is confident passengers travelling over the rest of the half-term break and next week's Jubilee Bank Holiday will not experience the chaos seen in Manchester.
