Ryanair passengers facing a two-hour wait for luggage have braded the situation a "joke" as the chaos continues.
Manchester Airport, like many others across the UK, has come under fire in recent months as the staffing crisis hits the aviation industry hard. Passengers have been forced to wait in "ridiculous" queues, flights have been cancelled at short notice and luggage has "gone missing".
But Ryanair passengers arriving at the airport during the early hours of the morning were not left unscathed as they were met with a makeshift sign, handwritten, warning them of long delays for their luggage. A paper sign was seen at the airport at 2am on June 8 at the baggage reclaim hall, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The handwritten sign reads: "Ryanair bags. Please be advised bag delivery time is taking approximately 2 hours. We apologise for the delay and are working hard to get the bag to you".
The frustrated passenger took to Twitter to share the picture and tagged Ryanair in, and asked the airline: "Is this a joke?". Ryanair has been approached for comment.

A mum also claimed Ryanair staff "weren't bothered" as she battled to keep her daughter's blood sugar levels up on a delayed flight.
