Travellers have been urged to arrive at Manchester Airport early as queues are so long they leave the terminal.
Most recently, Liverpool FC fans heading to Lisbon for the Benfica match have been met with delays due to the long queues for security. Fans have branded Manchester Airport an 'absolute shambles' as they report waiting for up to two hours to get through.
One fan told the ECHO that queues were hours long and they lead to further delays with planes not taking off on time. The fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "It was a disaster. After we finally got through security and onto the plane, I fell a kip just before take off but I woke up and we've not even left."
