Holidaymakers could face a weekend of travel chaos as the half-term getaway begins. Dozens of flights have been delayed at Manchester Airport today, while families embarking on half-term getaways have also faced long queues at the Port of Dover.
Thousands of Liverpool supporters descended on the Kent port to board cross-Channel ferries en route to Paris for Saturday's Champions League final. There is also high demand for sailings from families embarking on trips to the continent for half-term.
The port advised passengers to 'pack adequate supplies including food and water' as it is expecting 'a very busy week ahead'. Ferry firm Irish Ferries warned customers to 'expect delays of up to three hours at port security and check-in'.
