Holidaymakers flying from Manchester Airport saw further 'carnage' last week as they were faced with 'three-hour waits' for luggage and long queues. Others, who were hoping to get away for the Jubilee Bank Holiday and half-term, were left devastated after waking up to texts from airline TUI about their cancelled getaways.
With such a high number of travellers passing through the airport, only to increase during the peak summer months, we've taken a look at the some of the more unusual things that can get you in trouble at the airport.
Byelaws taking back nearly 70 years, and linked back to via the airport's website under the terms and conditions, give an insight into the kind of disruption airport bosses were keen to avoid in its early years.
