"Manchester Airport has become a ghastly place to travel from": Dad slams delays, 'miserable staff', a 'dirty' terminal and car parking fees

A disgruntled father has slammed Manchester Airport as a 'ghastly place to travel from' after his daughter and wife suffered delays while travelling on separate flights from Manchester to Toronto.

Peter Jackson, who lives near Blackpool, said his wife Shannon, along with their 11-year-old son and their 16-year-old daughter were flying to Canada on two separate flights, Air Canada and Air Transat, within ten minutes of each other. Both flights were delayed. He says this meant they missed their connecting flights in Canada and had to stay overnight in Toronto, then get up early the next morning for connecting flights to Regina - where they were headed.

But Peter says the misery did not stop there.
