Manchester Airport bosses say people arriving too early for their flight could actually add to the delays at check-in. They have now issued advice on exactly when passengers should arrive given the current queueing chaos.
The airport has been plagued by problems in recent weeks including long waits of in some cases several hours to pass through check-in and security and reach the departure lounge. Some passengers claimed to have missed flights as a result.
A number of travellers have said on social media they have resorted to arriving at the airport way before the normal recommended time, in same cases more than five hours before their flight, in a bid to avoid this.
