Problems are still being reported at airports around the UK as flights are cancelled or delayed and long queues snaking round departures. Passengers have been facing chaos while trying to go on their holidays recently, with many being left heartbroken when their flights are eventually cancelled.
One of the main airports which has been experiencing some of the worst issues recently has been Manchester. Bosses at the airport have said they are sorry and it is "not the experience" it wanted to give passengers.
In the latest development, budget airline Ryanair has now messaged all its customers to give them urgent advice. In an email seen by the Liverpool Echo, Ryanair has urged passengers to give themselves plenty of time to get through security and check-in.

The email says: "Please arrive at the airport three hours prior to the departure of your Ryanair flight as we are experiencing security delays at the airport. Please note, that our boarding gates close 30 minutes prior to the departure of your flight."
Speaking about issues there recently, a Manchester Airport spokesperson said: "We are aware of the challenge being faced by a number of airlines and handling agents, which is leading to delays at check-in and baggage reclaim for some passengers. Airlines and their ground handlers are responsible for their own check-in and baggage handling services. Passengers are advised to direct any questions or concerns about these issues, or anything relating to their flight, to their airline, who will be best placed to respond.
"However, this is not the experience we want passengers to have at Manchester Airport and we are sorry to hear customers have faced disruption. We are in contact with the senior management teams of the relevant airlines and ground handlers to understand the cause of these issues, and to support their efforts to resolve them as quickly as possible.
"Our colleagues are on hand in the terminal to provide assistance to customers and we are working hard to ensure security waiting times are as quick as possible. It remains our advice that passengers should arrive three hours before their flight and be as prepared as they can be for their journey through the airport."
