Multiple airlines are advising travellers to arrive up to three hours before their flight time amid long waits at Manchester Airport.
Manchester Airport is struggling to meet the demand from travellers following the lifting of restrictions and staff shortages. Holidaymakers have been seen jumping over barriers and abandoning their bags in the reclaim hall, and queues for security checks are reaching out to the car park.
The Manchester Airports Group (MAG) said there had been a number of bags being rejected at security, lengthening passenger wait times. Baggage handlers said they are 'under more stress than ever due to the 'unexpected demand' over previous weeks.
