'There's no staff just a sea of people' - passengers met with chaos amid another day of misery at Manchester Airport

Passengers arriving at Manchester Airport attempting to jet off on holiday say they've "never known it like this" after battling huge queues and reports there's not a staff member in sight.

Little could be heard amongst the loud chatter of stressed families questioning how long they'll be stuck, apart from a woman on the tannoy asking any passengers with flights in less than one hour to raise their hand. A few desperate hands appeared to rise up in the air as the panic on passengers faces started to subside.
