'I would have turned round and gone home' - readers verdict on huge Birmingham Airport queues

Readers have given their verdict after seeing the huge queues at a major airport. Queues stretched out of the doors of Birmingham Airport as around 7,500 people passed through the terminal during the morning peak on May 9.

Flights out of Birmingham were delayed by between a few minutes up to an hour, as passengers waited in long queues for security. Holidaymakers reported "absolute chaos" as queues for security were seen to snake out of the airport doors and along the length of the building, reports Birmingham Live.

Birmingham Airport advised passengers to arrive "in line with your airline's check in time", despite thousands of passengers being stuck the queues. Nottinghamshire Live readers came to the same conclusion, not being pleased with the management of the situation.
