Dad says child had to URINATE in plastic bag amid 'two-hour' airport security queue

A dad says his child had to URINATE in a plastic bag in a 'two-hour long' security queue at Manchester Airport. The strenuous wait, which was brought on due to a shortage in staff, saw disgruntled travellers wait in long queues before arriving at the security checks.

Mark Meadows, who was getting ready to jet off on an easyJet flight to Berlin with his family, shared images of just two of 13 security bays open when trying to pass through the airport in Terminal One on Tuesday afternoon (June 7). However, the M.E.N understands that there were actually total of five lanes open across the two security areas in the terminal.

Following the long wait, his flight was then cancelled, and the family had to re-book for the following day (June 8). easyJet said the flight was cancelled due to 'air traffic control delays'.
