Holidaymakers have experience carnage at Leeds Bradford Airport during the school holidays this week.
Chaos has continued this morning (June 2) following reports yesterday of customers being forced to queue for "miles" outside the airport in an attempt to catch their flight on time.
Some airport goers this morning said they have been queuing from 4.45am, while others got their up to four hours before their flight in a bid to avoid the chaos. Others have also been pulled out of the large queues by airport staff in fear of missing their flights.

One passenger who arrived at Leeds Bradford Airport at 3.45am this morning, Katy, said: "I’ll admit it was chaos, but I arrived just as the security queue was heading outside the terminal.
"My flight departure is 07:35 and I arrived at 03:45. I had fast track security, I queued about 25 minutes. Spoke with people in the regular queue who had been there two hours already.
"Jet2 have been pulling people from queues and the terminal staff are on the ball. I’m flying Jet2 and had no qualms, no flights are being cancelled and delays aren’t too severe."
Katy, who lives 15 minutes from the airport, added: "I only arrived early because Ubers were scarce. My Uber driver actually told me they’re avoiding accepting airport rides because of the back up of passengers in car parks make it hard for them."
People have took to Twitter to share their fury with the long queues at Leeds Bradford Airport this morning - as one person describes it as 'shameful.'
@1661peter said: "The queues were horrendous this morning… but don’t worry, turn up late and they will fast track you past all the people who were organised and followed the advice."
@MoBobat added: "Jet2 check-in at Leeds Bradford Airport a breeze at 4am (for 7am flight). Long queue for security. Fast Track queue shorter & steady. Airport staff brilliant at pulling people out before they miss their flights."
@simli20 Tweeted: "Further shambles at @LBIAirport. Normal queue going quicker than ‘fast track’."
@ponkarthik_r said: "Yes Mam. I was Thinking #Manchester Airport was bad. #Leeds Shadowed it today."
@jbcricketfan added: "The great #BankHolidayWeekend getaway! 4:45am and the queue at @LBIAirport for Security was already out of the carpark, and loops around inside the terminal. Staff working hard to get people through in time."
@JohnsonMolyneux Tweeted: "@LBIAirport utterly shameful situation at LBA this morning. I feel most of all for the staff or lack of them. Utterly shambolic. This is the queue for security. This is after a similar queue for checkin."
