Contrasting view for passengers at Manchester Airport this morning

Some passengers getting away for the Bank Holiday weekend at Manchester Airport this morning have reported facing huge queues - while others said they were 'super impressed'.

The airport has been plagued with issues in recent weeks, with scenes of crowded check-in halls, long security queues and baggage delays becoming bleakly familiar. Hub boss Charlie Cornish previously issued a frank apology and said that due to staff shortages, they would be unable to give passengers 'the level of service they deserve' over the coming months, until the workforce had been strengthened.

Today (April 29), there is a mixed view from the airport as some passengers have reported having more negative experiences than others. One holidaymaker described the situation as a 'joke' and said they had to queue for passport control for two hours.
