Hectic weekend at Manchester Airport amid reports of crying kids, huge queues, empty vending machines, closed restaurants and passengers stuck on planes for hours

Crying children, massive queues, empty vending machines, closed restaurants and passengers stuck on planes for hours. It's been a hectic weekend at Manchester Airport.

The airport saw huge half term queues again on Sunday (May 29), with trailing bag drop queues reported for TUI flights, as well as various delays to other flights, leaving families waiting at the gates for hours longer than planned. It comes after others told of how they were forced to sleep on the floor overnight earlier this week and even abandon their suitcases and go home after waiting hours for them at baggage reclaim on Saturday.

Manchester Airport has said there are no issues with security, and it appears a large number of TUI flights were being affected by delays and long queues.
