Fuming passengers have been left upset after staffing issues led to huge queues at Bristol Airport today (October 21). People trying to board their flights say they have been stuck in queues of around two hours to get through security.
Airport bosses have apologised for today's "unacceptable" issues, which has been blamed on fewer security staff working. However, this appears to have provided little comfort to passengers desperately trying to get on their flight.
One passenger, Michelle Ekin, described the scenes as "hostile", saying that "staff looked bewildered as passengers cut the queue and knocked over barriers". Meanwhile, Talia Jane tweeted that people were crying in the queues as they missed their plane.
