A picture of "chaos" has been captured at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) with hundreds queuing outside in the early hours, attempting to enter the under-staffed airport.
The scene, which saw holidaymakers scrambling across the car park, was snapped at 4.30am today (July 15). Passengers could be seen dotted around in Hawaiian shirts, lining the bustling pavements, as well as one woman hurriedly pushing a pram through the crowds.
The picture was taken by holidaymaker Andy Pearson who took to social media to share his distaste. He said on Twitter: "The scenes at Leeds Bradford airport at 430am. Absolute chaos."

It comes as passengers were photographed queuing outside for hours in the baking heat, earlier this week. Passenger Darrel Owens snapped a shot of the long queue into the Yeadon-based airport and branded it as "awful".
He says he was standing outside in the heat for more than an hour and 20 mins and he was still in the outdoor queue just 35 minutes before his flight was due to take off.
Joe Cushnan said on Sunday evening: "Only been to one airport in the past 3 years. Leeds/Bradford. What a soul-destroying hellhole. @LBAInfo Oh, at the other end, Belfast City, a dream."
