Passengers at Manchester Airport abandon bags amid 'ridiculous' wait

One holidaymaker has shared her frustration after she claims to have waited more than two hours. Alison Unwin, 60, also saw scores of uncollected bags - from flights which landed the day before - strewn around the reclaim hall in Terminal 3, apparently abandoned by their owners who decided they had waited long enough.
